hi, i currently have a Raspberry Pi 4 and im hosting Home Assistant, PiHole, NextCloud and some small projects i made. I would like to host Jellyfin, Bitwarden and some other stuff aswell. Also my storage is literally 2 USB sticks of 32 GB each in a RAID 0 config. I'd like to buy a NUC or something similar to be able to plug some HDDs and configure them in RAID1 so i have redundancy, i also need some 1080p encoding capabilities and it doesn't have to consume too much power. Which NUC would you recommend?

Check out Beelink mini computers. Similar to NUCs without the Intel markup. I have two NUCs and my buddy has a few Beelinks and they're essentially the same.

If you get a NUC decide if you want a barebones or complete unit. I usually go barebones so I can put quality stuff in.

I got a Synology NAS and run several Docker containers, including HA (that was on a Pi before).

It works great!
