Yeah, it’s good to see actual data to back up claims, and TBH, justify what some of us were probably thinking, but didn’t have the time / motivation to research… like many Ras Pis vs 1 traditional PC.
Good article, nice use of data.
I don’t know how that Synology DS423+ could consume 50W idle. It seems veeery strange to me. I mean, my E5-2620 V2 on a 10/15 years old Supermicro motherboard with 16GB of RAM, 4 idle SATA 3,5" hard drives and 2 SSD is consuming 55W! Something doesn’t sound right to me.
My simple itx 2700X server with 2 HDDs was idling significantly less than 55W that his synology was and it isn’t even have low idle power consumption like the synology.
Definitely something off with his method or configuration.
Key word, is idle.
Synology… and HDD hibernation don’t really go together very well. If you have containers running, it won’t let the HDDs hibernate at all. And- I have a minio instance running.
46 watts… but, yea, I expected lower.
But, suppose when its spinning 4x seagate exos, they like their juice.
It apparently doesn’t allow HDD hibernation while containers are running, and doesn’t appear to like to use any sleep states.
My configuration is:
- Core i5 12500
- 32GB RAM
- nvme ssd: Samsung 2TB
- nvme ssd: crucial 4TB
- HDD: Seagate ironwolf pro 10TB
- HDD: Seagate exos 18TB
- HDD: Seagate exos 20 TB it runs:
- VM with Home Assistant OS
- Calibre with content server
- Containers like Nginx reverse proxy, nextcloud, audiobookshelf etc. and qbittorent
At idle, with 2 of 3 hdds spinned down it uses about 30-33W at wall.
