Asrock C2550d4i or C2750D4i

[fontes31]

Hello everyone,

Iam building a Nas with these configurations:

Board: Asrock C2750D4I or [URL='http://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=C2550D4I#']C2550D4I [/URL]
Case: Fractal 304
Memory: Crucial Memory Ram DDR3L 8GBx2 ECC
Power Supply: Corsair 80 plus gold 550W

My only doubt is the board.

My Nas is for sickrage, coucpotato, Plex, Emby, streaming 1080p and transcoding.

The difference of price between the 2 boards is around 150 Euros

How many streams will you need to transcode at a time? I've been quite happy with my 2550, but I run direct streams to Kodi and don't need the extra cores to transcode...

Maximum 2 streams

The rule of thumb on transcoding from 1080 is a passmark score of 2000 per stream. The C2550d4i has a score around 2200, and the C2750d4i is around 3900. Looks like the 2750 is your better choice.

I don't know if that's cutting it too close though... Hopefully someone with real world experience can jump in.

Go with the 2750, I have it, its a beast.
