My Homelab Hardware 1.0
#HomeLab
Choosing between Raspberry PI and anything else I picked a power-efficient mini pc:
- Minisforum GK41 with 4 cores Intel Celeron J4125, 8GB RAM, and 256GB SSD.
- 2x 4TB external USB HDDs from Seagate for storage purposes
For the price of a Raspberry PI, it gives a nice case with an active cooling system, SATA and M2 interfaces, and a bunch of ports like USB, HDMI, LAN, etc.
The x86 CPU also gives a bit more flexibility compared to ARM in terms of software compatibility. It's a bit less energy efficient than Raspberry, but I'm ok with that.
