I came here to tell my tiny Raspberry pi 4 consumes ~10 watt, But then after noticing the home server setup of some people and the associated power consumption, I feel like a child in a crowd of adults ๐
I have an old desktop downclocked that pulls ~100W that I'm using as a file server, but I'm working on moving most of my services over to an Intel NUC that pulls ~15W. Nothing wrong with being power efficient.
I'm using an old laptop with the lid closed. Uses 10w.
All in, including my router, switches, modem, laptop, and NAS, I'm using 50watts +/- 5.
It does everything I need, and I feel like that's pretty efficient.
we're in the same boat, but it does the job and stays under 45ยฐC even under load, so I'm not complaining
Quite the opposite. Look at what they need to get a fraction of what you do.
Or use the old quote, "they're compensating for small pp"
