I wonder if my system is good or bad. My server needs 0.1kWh.

45 to 55 watt.

But I make use of it for backup and firewall. No cloud shit.

With everything on, 100W but I don't have my NAS on all the time and in that case I pull only 13W since my server is a laptop

For two servers (one with a lot of spinning rust), two switches, and a few other miscellaneous network appliances. My server rack averages around 600-650W. During periods of high demand (nightly backups, for instance), that can peak at around 750W.

Running an old 7th gen Intel, It has a 2070 and a 1080 in it, six mechanical hard drives 3 SSDs. Then I have an eighth gen laptop with a 1070 TI mobile. But the laptop's a camera server so it's always running balls to the wall. Running a unified dream machine pro, 24 port poe, 16 port poe and an 8 port poe

Because of the overall workload and the age of the CPU, it burns about 360 watts continuous.

I can save a few watts by putting the discs to sleep, But I'm in the camp where the spin up and spin down of the discs cost more wear than continuous running.

Edit: cleaned up the slaughter from the dictation, after I cleaned up my physical space from Christmas festivities.

the boxes i have running 24/7 use about 20w max each, and about half that at idle or 'normal' loads.

80-100 watts at idle which is most of the time. Two OS drives, two fast drives, two spinners, lots of networking and always syncing with the rest of the cluster.

50W-ish idle? Ryzen 1700, 2 HDDs, and a GTX 750ti. My next upgrade will hopefully cut this in half.

I use unraid with 5950x and it wouldn't stop crashing until I disabled c states

So that plus 18 hdds and 2 ssds it sits at 200watts 24/7

My home rack draws around 3.5kW steady-state, but it also has more than 200 spinning disks
