It does but there’s a lot of other stuff connected that I can’t unplug. I ended up getting a kill a watt and since the server has redundant power supplies I checked by unplugging one at a time.

I’m using 168W on an R430 with 2 E5-1220’s and 128 G and 8 spinners.

Song name? I feel like it’s way too fucking good to be an ad jingle

My previous experience is with dropbox and onedrive and I tend to limit bandwidth … I want sync to happen in the background. It’s not something I usually consider “high priority”

I found NC to be a lot more flexible and complete, specially with all the machine learning options. I also appreciate the privacy and price Hosting about 7TB of data for $10 worth of power a month and a $150 investment that allows me to host many other things.

The web interface in my case is a bit slow initially but that’s mostly because I opted to route it via pangolin reverse proxy / cloud flare tunnels, but I notice once the redis cache DB loads it’s blazing fast.

Overall I’m pretty happy with the speed, I’m sharing this with a family of 15 and I haven’t heard any complaints yet.

about 5TB of the 7 I have available are in use. I was planning on expanding to 12 to allow for growth.

I could just upgrade to bigger drives (1 TBs currently) but it feels cheaper to go with DAS

Good point. I actually have a watt meter coming in the mail tomorrow. Will measure the idle consumption of the r430 and report back. This thing sits mostly at under 10% except when running backups or the machine learning algos for nextcloud image recognition.

I’ve considered it, but decent NUCs are much pricier than old discarded hardware.

I have a good source thru my job for tons of CTO hardware, these R230’s cost me about 50 bucks a pop, and considering they sip power they’re a really hard to pass deal, it sounds like a really good way to learn proxmox HA, load balancing and ceph minus the storage capacity

I guess I could still host a 10G nas on an r230 with a DAS, but my questions remain.
