So ive never really paid attention to the power I consume running various servers over the years but now that ive cleaned up and consolidated im trying to gauge my power draw compared to others.
I run a Proxmox host with 13 HDDs, 6 NVMe drives and 2 U2 NVME drives, a Quattro P2200, RTX A2000, RTX 4070, Epyc CPU, HBA for HDDs, NVMe Card 4x4.
A Synology 2422 with 4SSD, 2 HDDs
A Synology expansion with 8 HDDs
I run about 500 watts off the wall for all this stuff and I think this is the lower end as I wasn’t using the GPUs. That includes a couple switches as well. Very silent runs very cool.
What do other people consume?
around 350W at the moment, but I’m in the middle of a data migration.
i7-8700 whitebox VM host
2x HP N54L with 4x 8TB SAS drives, one of them also has 2x 500GB SSD and 2x 500GB HDD
TPlink 24 port switch
a couple of UPSes
Huawei LTE router
probably some other stuff that I’ve forgotten
Will likely be adding a Dell Optiplex mini PC soon
