Expansion and specification checks

Dell's Micro specification lists two SO-DIMM slots (32GB maximum), an M.2 SSD position and a 2.5-inch drive position. Check the fitted memory, drive, caddy and cable on the exact refurbished unit before planning an upgrade.

Dell's platform specification confirms memory and storage positions, not which components or mounting parts the retailer's exact unit includes. No physical inspection or measured power data.

Limitations before buying

Prefer a newer platform when buying specifically for Jellyfin hardware transcoding. No measured noise or idle-power figures are available.
No hands-on testing, measured power consumption or guaranteed software compatibility.
Confirm BIOS access, Ethernet support, the power adapter and your intended software before purchase.
