  • I really would advise against a raspberry. Even a Pi 4 is too slow for transcoding and storage over usb is just too unreliable. I would go with a motherboard with integrated CPU. There is a really good one from Topton with a Celeron N5105 that supports hardware transcoding. I did a build with that recently and I’m really happy with it so far. Power consumption is around 35W with two 18TB sata drives. If you only use one and have it go to standby when not in use you could go even lower.

    If you want something prebuilt there is a NAS from terramaster with the same cpu. It uses a an internal USB for OS storage that’s easily replaced. It’s called F2-423.






  • That seems strange I’m running a pfSense VM on proxmox with a Core i3 5010u. The VM has 2 cores and 1GB ram and I’m getting around 500 Mbit on my Gigabit cable in download. I only disabled hardware checksum on the pfSense side. What CPU exactly do you have? Also make sure to set the CPU type for the OPNsense to „host“. That helped quite a bit for me.
