MINISFORUM N5 AI NAS

[Enquiries]

Love your reviews and your channel on YouTube.

Just have one simple question for you is the minisforum worth it.

I'm looking to use it for a new CPU to run Plex and all my movies and music.

Side note the r_volution player pro 8K media center is an amazing piece of equipment if you ever have a chance or the need to get one believe it or not it makes 4K blu-rays look better when you rip them.
Thanks for your help in advance

Thanks for the kind words — much appreciated, and glad you’re enjoying the content!

To your question: yes, the Minisforum N5 Pro AI NAS is definitely worth considering, especially if your main goals are running Plex, streaming movies/music, and potentially some light AI/photo indexing in the future. It’s compact, quiet, has great CPU power (N100 or 12450H/12650H in higher variants), dual M.2 NVMe slots, and handles Docker, Jellyfin, and even multiple Plex streams easily. If you’re not doing heavy 4K HDR transcoding, it’s more than enough.

Also appreciate the tip on the r_volution Pro 8K media center — sounds like a beast! I’ll keep an eye out for one to review, especially if it enhances ripped 4K Blu-rays. Love finding those niche gems.
