Hi everyone

I need help on deciding on a SFF. I mainly will be using it for Plex
but also for other purposes like home automation etc.

Currently I'm thinking about a M.2 SSD or PCIe SSD with 2 HDD's. I
also saw that those SFF have often an optical drive, maybe I could
replace this with an SSD? Or is that to difficult?

Following are available for me:

* HP 600 G3 SFF
* HP Elitedesk 800 G2 SFF
* HP 280 G2 SFF
* HP 400 G3 SFF
* HP 600 G3 SFF
* HP 600 G2 SFF
* DELL OptiFlex 3040 SFF

Ofc i googled for the specs but sometimes there are contradictory
information about a product. So i hope i can consult someone who has
more technical expertise :)

This sub is about selfhosting **software services**, not about any
hardware purchase or upgrade advice. Consider subs like /r/HomeServer
/r/Homelab etc instead.
