Just curious, why do you turn it off at night? Mine only uses ~2 watts when idling
Edit; more like 7 watts but still pretty good
2W is insane. I wonder how much it actually drains from the wall.
My server idles at 30-35W and turning it off for 6 hours at night (cheaper electricity) would save like 4€ a year. Its cheap here tho
Ok so I did some testing, from the wall it’s about 7 watts idle. I wonder where that extra 5 is coming from, oh well still pretty good!
Sleeping it’s less than 1 watt, so I might see if I can let it sleep at night somehow
Most likely PSU efficiency because they are bad on super low power. Still insane, 7W is nothing
I have a meter I could test with if I wanted, although I’m not sure why iStat would lie
Would you mind sharing the specs? Thanks in advance!
It depends on the server. Mine is an old Haswell based system, and uses more than 2 watts :)
I use one of those tiny mini PCs, with an AMD mobile CPU in it. It sips power but has enough oomph for transcoding when necessary. I'm sure the NAS that my library actually sits on uses way more power with its mechanical HDDs.
True, I’m using a M2 Mac mini. Used to use a raspberry pi
2 watts isn't a lot 😁 I'm not sure but my gpu alone consumes more than that when idle
