Dell R730xd Power Usage (alien.top)

I'm looking at my new server's IDRAC console and it's idling at 260 watts. That seems high to me. I'm new to this so some help would be appreciated. It only has ESXI 7 installed, no virtual guests yet. So nothing really requiring processor power. Thank you!

The drives are definitely the ones eating all that electricity.

For comparison, I have a r730 LFF 192 Gb mem, Xeon 2690 v4, 12 VMs, 3 SSDs, ESXI 7 and it eats about 98 watts.
