I have three Lenovo ThinkCentre Tiny M900s that I’m in the process of setting up as a basic Docker swarm. I intend to run the usual HomeLab stuff on it (Plex, storage, etc.) and I would love hardware video encoding. However, because of their amazing compact form factor, fitting a GPU in there is not possible (and I want to keep it at least looking stock). There is an M.2 E key slot for WiFi, but I’m not using it. I know there’s a card you can put there that adds a TPU AI co-processor (https://www.coral.ai/products/m2-accelerator-ae), but does anyone know of a simple video encoder that fits in the same form factor?

There is no M.2 card that houses a GPU directly. You can get a M.2 -> PCIE adapter, but that defeats the purpose. Just use Quicksync instead

There are a couple, but they are just about good enough for VGA and not at all useful for this problem
