Old i5-2500k.....plex/file server possible?

[Longbow1]

Just got grandfathered a old 2500k system.  Just wondering if that will be enough to run a simple file server? 

[Shimejii]

Should be able to.

[Needfuldoer]

That's plenty of horsepower for a home NAS.

[svmlegacy]

Absolutely, more than enough power.

I used that exact CPU myself and got two or three 1080p PLEX streams running off it, a share and a Minecraft server

You'll be fine, File servers for home use need the reasorces of a potato and plex does very well on older hardware unless you are trying to transcode 4k. If your streaming locally with plex it normally will be able to direct stream and requires next to nothing to run.
