Mine runs at 30watts at idle.
That powers 4 switches, 1AP, and my proxmox system (framework laptop motherboard) which runs my router and my services.
What is everyone else’s usage and what does it power?
Hmm according to homeassistant my Rack+PC consumed precisely this much over the last day (graph from homeassistant). I have been trying to minimize power consumption through more efficient hardware, but you can only go so far without making big sacrifices.
wow. unless you’re doing lots of compute / AI stuff /crypto or have multiple servers or a big amount of spinning storage, i bet your 450W is far from ‘efficient’ without ‘sacrifices’. You can have one decent cpu with a few cores, one or two spinning hdd and one or two ethernet NICs idling at 20W to 40W. probably also including a few VMs with light usage.
Why are you asking, did my wife get you to ask?
But around 300w with 24 port switch, dish shelf (3.5" disks) and server with ssd’s and 2.5" disks
I feel for those in Europe, these are the current spot prices in NZ
Edit corrected image:
I approve of the y-axis label. But everything else is kinda missing… Like the information what’s depicted on the diagram. Cost of production? Price for a end-user? pre- or after tax? which country? and why did someone paint in 5 different colors? It certainly doesn’t match what i’m paying.
From New Zealand and is averaged wholesale spot prices for the 5 (main) produces here
Comparable to your’s. My Server/NAS usually is at about 15W to provide me and family/friends with a few selfhosted services. If i use it for backup or access some old photos/dvds it may spin up another hdd or two and it may draw additional power. (Or use the cpu). The cable modem and wifi router need another 20W combined.
I think that should be around 300kW per year. A bit more than the fridge in the kitchen claims to use per its energy label.
(edit: it’s always very interesting to ask where people live (and what they’re paying for energy) when asking questions like this. I’m not sure but i believe 300W in Texas is like 40W in Germany ;-)
My proxmox server runs at 60W idle, which is the main Reason why I am getting a new system soon. Old one is running a old (2011 I think) dual core celeron.
Same as you. Old AMD system with a Ryzen 2400, three hard drives and two ssds running open Media vault. The hard drives spin down after 30 minutes, as I only use them once or twice a day.
