Experience with N100 / N200 CPUs? (lemmy.ml)

Hello selfhosters.

I'm considering to buy a SFF PC to act as a docker host. The main services / applications I'm going to run is going to be Immich. Filebrowser, Samba-share and eventually Paperless-ngx. I've been eyeing PCs with a N100 / N200 specifically to run quiet, and to conserve on energy consumption. I am most likely going for an Asus PN42 and will have an SSD in it to keep the moving parts to a minimum.

To those who are running machines with this CPU and similiar workloads, how has your experience been?

Thanks for the suggestions :-)

I decided against arm-arch partially because RPI5 is out of stock (and I want to go with a brand name), and to avoid the extra hassle of having a HAT for a SATA driver.

As for the 8500t, I already have a SFF PC with a older CPU - but lower TPD than 8500 (but propably more noise). And I want to go lower. Also, the price difference in SEK between PN42 and those computers in your ebay link isn't that big.

You're welcome!

Imo Hardkernel is much better than any RPI (you mostly pay for the hype...). I'm running a HC2, N2+ and M1. Everything works. Armbian doing great work here. M1 runs native arm debian with a nice Petiteboot net installer. Give it a try if you wanted to take the RPI 5. And the M1 has an nvme and Sata port too (just need the bracket for a 2,5" drive).

Okay, yeah price difference in Euros in DE isn't as big either. But you pay more for a worse CPU. Underclock and volt the CPU and you're still having a faster CPU with more cores. My HTPC (HP 400 G4 with 8500T) draws about 20-25w while streaming.
