Raspberry Pi 5 vs N100 for media server?

[GSDog]

I am looking for a mini PC to act as a media server (possibly using Plex or Kodi, but open to suggestions).

More specifically, it will be used to back-up and stream family photos / videos, stream 4K movies and potentially live TV if I can find a decent IPTV addon.

I purchased a Raspberry Pi 5 for my home automation which is working great, and so I purchased another to use as a media server, but I am now wondering if the N100 would have been a better choice.

I’d appreciate your advice.

Thank you all.

I cancelled my secondary Pi 5 order and have ordered a Beelink S12 Pro instead. I’ll let you know how I get on.
