Right now i have 2 servers, split up into a nas with plex (running on a g4920 - tdp around 50/60w),
and a low power “homeserver” which is running a few dockers (N3160, tdp around 10w)

as my disks are now around 5y of age, i’m looking into updating, and at the same time i’m looking into moving those 2 systems on to one system, but i want the tdp of the new system to be lower total than the g4920, with equal or better performance.

requirements are:

- low power (looking at cpu with tdp at or below 35, preferably powered by a dc jack)
- either 2 M2 slots (1 ssd + 1 sata expansion) or 1 M2 slot and 5/6 sata connections
- 2.5gb nic
- an additional M2 slot or mini pcie slot (for a coral)

so far the only contender i seem to find is a n5105 on an aliexpress board, but that is kind of “over the top” when it comes to network connections (i only need 2, though 2 is nice)

does anyone have any other suggestions ?
