Recommendation for 10G Mini PC - Enquiries - 07-02-2025
Hello, long story short since I already ran into the 900 character limit earlier.
Since I have to downsize my homelab because of moving into a new apartment next year I´d really appreciate your advice on a MiniPC.
I have a 10G mostly Flash Storage Main Server and 4 HDD Backup PCs, one of which remote. I am currently using a DIY PC with an i5 13500 and 10G Nic to manage everything in thsi network, from download linux isos to doing the backups. Unfortunately I need to sell this PC for a more powerefficient solution. For this Management PC I´m looking for a Mini PC that should be as powerefficient as possible in idle, yet it shoudl be powerful enough to handle everything I may throw at it, so something round about the performance of my current 13500 should be fine. It needs to have 10G built in or a way to add it, ideally copper instead of SFP+, also need s to be reliable.
