Who it’s for / considerations
Good fit if you want a quiet, low-power Plex box that’s ready out-of-the-box and can also act as a simple NAS for your home media. Things to note: external USB storage is required for any sizable library; and, as always, tools like Radarr/Sonarr/SABnzbd should be used only with content you have the rights to.
