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?

Lenovo Tiny m700 8th Gen i5, 32GB ram, USB SSD boot, Sata SSD storage, USB SSD Backup, extra m2 2.5ge nic to replace the wifi card. Run Proxmox with pfSense. About 11-15 Watts average. Spikes to 50 when running a batch job.

Considering a ZimaBoard but needs more RAM for the batch job.
