Lemmings, what's your self hosted server power usage? - programming.dev

I’ll just come out and say it: 50W. I know, I know an order of magnitude above what’s actually needed to host websites, media center and image gallery. But it is a computer I had on-hand and which would be turned on a quarter of the day anyway. And these 50W also warm my home, although this is less efficient than the heat pump, of course. What’s your usage? What do you host?

~53 W

Server:

  • AMD Ryzen 5 5600G
  • 4x16 GB DDR4 3200 Mhz
  • 256 GB NVMe as boot-disk
  • 2x256 GB Samsung SSDs for VMs
  • 2x2 TB WD Red Plus HDDs

Mini PC: Beelink S12 N95

  • 16 GB DDR4
  • 256 GB NVMe

8 port unmanaged TP Link switch

I would like to expand my storage, however I don’t have any available SATA ports and I believe adding an HBA would increase the idle draw about 8 W. I might just upgrade the SSDs and split the storage between the HDDs and SSDs than.
