Thanks for an uber quick response. I did fiddle with the BIOS to lower the power, but oddly it seemed to break 2 x 8GB RAM sticks...it could have been coincidence of course, they were a few years old. To my knowledge, TrueNAS isn't great at adjusting CPU speed, though it's something I need to...
Cheers for that (sorry for delay, lot of building work), well perhaps it is fairly typical.
Oddly I now find it's far lower, though I have set a pool of 4 disks to standby when not used, so may be that helps.
Thanks for the correction, so UnRaid is pretty much the same as TrueNAS, with parity drives. I have had drive failures (intentional, testing) and the data has continued to be accessible, but at a slower rate of transfer. I've popped a new drive in, resilvered the pool and removed the failed...
Just to regurgitate what I've heard, but Synology use a sort of front end BTRFS, but a ZFS back end, so it's surprisingly safe.
I very nearly went the UnRaid route, but I was a bit disturbed that when a drive fails, it sounded as if you lost the data on that drive. I could be wrong.
Like I...
Thanks @sja360 , yes I might try that. I did "un-standby" a few drives and noted the power went up around 5w per drive. If I'm feeling brave I'll unplug them all, though disabling those SATA's in BIOS might be a safer route perhaps?
That's very interesting @decto , thank you. I haven't seen...
Welcome to my...boat! Yeah my alcohol budget is higher than that too :eek:
I did think about hosted, but I've got a lot of data at rest, as well as a lot of work related files that I like to keep offline (ish). I am using the server for a few other things at least, like wifi controller...
It's a very fair point, it's not that much in the grand scheme of things, I'm just trying to control regular costs, and £182 a year would be better spent on my alcohol budget.
Thank you @Rroff , I have seen S States mentioned in the BIOS, I just remember last time I fiddled with it, it buggered the machine up. I'll have another look though, thank you!
Thanks for that @BongoHunter , I did have a look around the BIOS and did as much as I could. I think I even tried reducing the active cores, from 6 to 4, but I recall it didn't make much of a difference.
My RAM is 2133, good idea, I could try reducing it manually and I've seen that option...
Thanks for that @nox_uk , yes one day I may give up on it and try some smaller units. I have a snapshot server that's i3-9100F based, and that isn't juicy at all, though I've yet to power test it.
Hey all,
My god I've not posted here for ages, hope everyone is well?!?
So the title should explain, I'm kind of interested in anyone else's experience with power usage.
Here's my spec:
OS: TrueNAS
CPU: E5-1650 v4
RAM 64GB ECC Registered
HDD:
1 x NVMe
2 x SSD
8 x HDD's (half are set to spin...

Hey Dale, just wondering if you resolved this? I've got that board and it's been fairly rock solid, other than some potential (unrepeatable) RAM issues.
