I know, this is a thread like thousand already existing, but couldnt find one for these two devices - hope u can endure one more .
Somehow can't really decide which one of the two mentioned is the better device...important factors for me: quiet, runs SQ, can be used with linux/windows systems, energy-efficient. Nice to have would have been WLAN and Encryption. But guess these two options call for a self-built server - something I dont wanna do anymore as had self-built stuff now running for years and just dont want to invest that much time in it anymore.

So what would your choice be and why?
