Setting up a Plex server on Windows 11 Pro is the next step. I’ve used Unraid before, but it’s been too cumbersome. The current configuration runs smoothly for a customer who prioritizes performance over power savings. My setup includes a 13600k system with two NVMe SSDs and two 12TB NAS units, plus an EVGA 850 Supernova P2 power supply. I’m curious if running Plex on one of the SSD NVMe drives while using the NAS for media storage will allow it to wake up quickly when you start a movie. My goal is to keep the system idle at under 50 watts for continuous operation.
