Rule 3 - Keep post and comments relevant
Posts must be related to Plex and Plex-related products, apps. etc. Try to keep comments relevant to the parent comment and to the post.
Rule 4 - Keep discussions of media acquisition limited to means and methods only.
Discussions regarding media acquisition should be limited to the how not the what, as this is not the place to discuss piracy of specific media. There are other communities for that, and we don't want to get this community defederated from instances where it's a forbidden topic. Posts/comments discussing specific acts of piracy (How do I find X show? or Where can I download Y film?)will be removed. For further clarification see this post

What CPU does the server have? How much RAM? What's the RAM's speed? Are you using an SSD as a cache?
There's no way anyone could say what the performance would be without knowing what the machine you're running it on can do.
Beelink is a brand with a fairly large range of machines.
Apologies. Mine is the beelink u59 with N5105 2.9ghz Intel celeron N CPU and 16GB DDR4 RAM and 500GB M.2 SSD.
I have a n100 on Truenas. It handles the Plex and all the other apps just fine so I assume the n5105 will be capable
Yeah, this. It ought to handle all of them no problem. If you run low on RAM (doubtful), you should switch from Windows to Linux, but you're probably fine with 16GB.
Got it all up and running, graphs on plex dash show system memory at 45%. I can't see any difference with how plex is performing, so all happy. Thanks!
I'm running basically what you're describing on an i5 intel nuc, which basically the same as the better beelink minipc's and it works just fine. I don't think I'd try it on the super cheap ones with 2-4 cores, but anything equivalent to a core i3 or better should be fine.
