Recommendations for cheap hardware upgrade
Hello everyone,
I am running some services like Jellyfin, Radarr, QBittorrent, Jellyseerr and some others on my Raspberry Pi 4. The problem is that it is already struggling to run those, since it has only 2GB of RAM. I wish it was possible to do a RAM upgrade to the Raspberry Pi but the RAM is soldered to the motherboard. I don't want to buy another Raspberry Pi with more RAM because they are quite expensive and I don't want to have two of them. So can you recommend something for around or under 100€?
Thanks in advance.

A second-hand used laptop. Or an used Intel NUC.
I'd say it's difficult to buy anything new for $100 that's actually worth spending that money.
I'd recommend one if the Mini PCs like
But that's about twice your budget with a decent amount of RAM and some storage. (And way faster than a RasPi.)
I may have purchased that exact item from Amazon a few months ago. It is 100% worth saving up for a bit to purchase something this good. Debian stable is fully supported. It's currently just my streaming client but it's pretty powerful and sips power compared to off lease desktops or even laptops.
Out of curiosity: Did you measure the idle power consumption?
That's a good point, I actually have not. I came to that conclusion based on the reviews I've read.
