Hello guys, I am quite new to this topic and I am not sure if my question even makes sense. Also I already looked at the frequently asked question post but didn't find my question. I am considering to buy a raspberry Pi 4 8GB which I want to turn into a mediaserver (I know it will have only movies and shows on 1080p and I will try to avoid any transcoding) which also will be my local cloud for family photos/videos and maybe also for music. So to my question:

1. Is this even possible what I want to do?
2. Should I choose a raid 0 oder raid 1 setup?
3. Lastly, my original question, is it smart to have a remote way of booting and turning off my Pi server like a remote controller able socket? Wouldnt this be more efficient, better for the HDDs and (if I need any cooling) also be quitter?

How I already said, my original question was only the third one but, I though I could also ask if what I want to do is even realistic.

Hello guys,

I am quite new to the topic and wanted to ask you if a raspberry pi 4 with jellyfin would work for a media server that has 1080p content on it. I know that it is way to weak for transcoding but if I have .mkv files and H.264 it could run over direct play ?

Edit: Yeah obviously I want to use jellyfin
