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?
Network stack: UDM-Pro, USW-Agg, USW-16-PoE, Raspberry Pi for DNS, VPN & monitoring, U-LTE-Pro, USW-Flex, G4-Bullet, 2x UAP-AC-Mesh, 2x UAP-AC-LR, 1x UAP-FlexHD sitting on a 500 VA UPS pulling ~100W.
Homeserver (24/7) is a Ryzen 3700X-system with 13 HDDs usually pulling around 150W on it’s 1000VA UPS.
Power is quite expensive here in Germany, but the cost of small solar-setups is dropping, so I might setup a little PV-installation to offload costs. Would probably allow me to run more servers again^^
