I’m going to try to unplug these. But even if I remove 20W from the 2 HDDs, there are still 25W which seem a lot

I don’t know much about hardware. I used these suggestions: https://forums.serverbuilds.net/t/guide-nas-killer-6-0-ddr4-is-finally-cheap/13956

I built a NAS where I can put 6 HDDs, there are enough plugs on the PSU.

Do you think the PSU is the issue?

Thanks that would be cool. Also if you can tell me if this is a NUC or something larger.

I guess I’ll do this if I don’t find a way to reduce the power consumption

Unfortunately this is idling after boot. While booting it jumps to 70W and I haven’t seen it go below 45W idling…

I’m using an EVGA 500 W1

Thanks. So If I take 5W a disk, I may have 20W just from the disks.

There are still 25W remaining. For a low power CPU that looks like a lot 😕

I have checked but I haven’t seen anything about power. By any chances, do you know in what category it may be?

Yes this is where I first heard of mergerfs/SnapRAID. But I didn’t realize this guide wasn’t using any software on top of Proxmox. I’ll read again, thanks!

Thanks, I’ll check ZFS again!

How do you manage your shares?

I was comparing Proxmox and Unraid. I had ruled out TrueNAS because it only supports ZFS. I was wrong about the RAM for ZFS, but another issue is that it doesn’t support different disk sizes
