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?

My entire rack is currently idle'ing at around 180 watts. That includes a 10 drive Unraid server with Ryzen 7 3700X. Plus I have a Dell mini-PC, HP EliteDesk G3, A older Apple Mac-Mini running Ubuntu server and a Lenovo m720q (OPNSense).

Of course I've never looked at how much the network stuff is using such as 2 switches, 4 x Access points, 2 x Raspberry Pi 3s (DNS/Pihole) and ISP provided fiber gateway box.
