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?
10W for Proxmox host, 15W for small Synology, and that’s about it. I don’t know what the router and switch draw, probably nothing. It runs Nextcloud, Home Assistant, Immich, Arr suite, Tailscale, Adguard Home, Jellyfin and my website absolutely fine. I’d absolutely hate to consume more and I love my Apple Silicon Macs.
