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?
Uh, a lot. I haven’t looked in a while, but probably 800-1000w
r730xd with 14 drives, dual procs and 512gb ram
r710 with 8 drives, dual procs and 144gb ram
r510 with 12 drives dual procs and 64gb ram
The heat generated on the back side is pretty high, so thats where my electric bill is going :(
