Around 90-100W typical for the part of my lab actually powered on. That is my NAS (60W typical) that has five 12/14 TB hard drives attached to a C2750 and my VM Host (35W typical, but bounces between 20W and 40W), which has a couple of SSDs attached to a R7 1700.

Network stack: UDM-Pro, USW-Agg, USW-16-PoE, Raspberry Pi for DNS, VPN & monitoring, U-LTE-Pro, USW-Flex, G4-Bullet, 2x UAP-AC-Mesh, 2x UAP-AC-LR, 1x UAP-FlexHD sitting on a 500 VA UPS pulling ~100W.
Homeserver (24/7) is a Ryzen 3700X-system with 13 HDDs usually pulling around 150W on it's 1000VA UPS.
Power is quite expensive here in Germany, but the cost of small solar-setups is dropping, so I might setup a little PV-installation to offload costs. Would probably allow me to run more servers again^^
A pc, unifi usg 3p, cloudkey gen 1, usw-16 gen 2 what run about 100 watt with pc in stanby (not using and monitors off), 200 watt when I use my pc
I'm hitting just under 5000 watts or 40 amps at 120v. Winter will be warm this year 😎
I have a 50amp 3 phase line feeding my mini data center. Currently only using 5 amps according to the pdu.
42*10^-6 MW for NUC, two drives, modem, switch, router and ap.
eh, around 500w average.
Got a couple SFFs. Got a couple Micros.
Got an 2730xd loaded with over 128T of storage, tons of NVMe and 256g of ram.
Got 6 switches total. 10G ran everywhere too. Lots of POE stuff.
about 60W for my server with 384gb ram
2 thin clients for various purposes so about 15-20w there
so about 75-80w for servers
Soooo, 750w+ at the wall isn't normal? 😬
Have dropped from 500w (2 x R710) to 50-60w (5600X, 32Gb, 2 nvme drives, 3 sata SSDs, Coursir Platinum PSU, Gigabyte Mobo
Plus in the lab, I have a ONT and a small network switch (replacing a managed one saved 20w or so), and a work laptop, which brings the at the wall consumption of the entire lab to around 80-90w
Id be interested to see how folk with the Athlon processors are getting so much less power usage than me
10W for Proxmox host, 15W for small Synology, and that's about it. I don't know what the router and switch draw, probably nothing. It runs Nextcloud, Home Assistant, Immich, Arr suite, Tailscale, Adguard Home, Jellyfin and my website absolutely fine. I'd absolutely hate to consume more and I love my Apple Silicon Macs.
Was 500-600w now down to 120-200w. Going to consolidate down to one or two P3 tinys
I just power everything off except a couple of Raspberry PIs when I'm not using it. I did the math and where I live, it's about $1/watt/year for loads that are on 24/7. It's just not worth $400/year to power something that usually idle.
200w, I think it could be less if I enable c-states (don't know why I turned them off)
3x optiplex 3070s
4 HDDs
4 APs, 4 PoE cams, 10g switch
450W. The bulk of that is from having 45x HDD's running. The only way to reduce it is if I bought higher capacity HDD's, which will be expensive.
Our house has got multiple fridge freezers, an induction hob, several sets of Tvs.& gaming consoles, a semi-dedicated home theatre and office, as well as a 3kw hot tub - the power bill for my homelab is a rounding error amongst all that.
35w, powering 12 threads, 2 spinning disks, 4 ssds, no GPU, proxmox host with 4 guests.
Uh, a lot. I haven't looked in a while, but probably 800-1000w
r730xd with 14 drives, dual procs and 512gb ram
r710 with 8 drives, dual procs and 144gb ram
r510 with 12 drives dual procs and 64gb ram
The heat generated on the back side is pretty high, so thats where my electric bill is going :(
300w including networking on a 3000VA APC

Jiggawho?
I'd love to know, but it's best I dont.
3 HP DL380s, 4 drives each
1 HP DL380, 15 drives
1 Chenbro 1U storage server, 12 drives
1 supermicro 1U storage server, 12 drives
1 HP DL360, 4 drives I think
2 netgear business poe switches
2 fortigates
2 microtik 8 port 10G switches
2 smart UPS 1500 units
I just dont want to know.
Pre-SSD days I wondered the same thing so I purchase a power/watt meter to check my 6 disk RedHat LVM RAID-5 arrays...it was eye opening.
Electrical consumption alone, not even factoring in my stress "is it working", man-hours, backups, user/family training, UPS units, or drive/cassis hardware costs it was clearly cheaper to outsource storage.
150
I hope y'all know that the correct way to write this is "gigawatt."
We should be saying [jigabyte] not "gigabyte".
Look up the dictionary pronunciation of the prefix "giga-"
I only use JuggaloWatts. Whoop Whoop!
80W for me in R730 running various VM and most of the time are just idle.
At any given time? Up to 234 kW but that's only because I don't have anything with more wheaties than a 5.3 L LC9. Less than 500 W for the lab though.
About 2.9e-7 gigawatts.
for PVR (1 HDD), server(4 HDDs), and all those wall warts, standalone clocks, switches, CPE, battery chargers I left plugged in, TV and monitor standby power,...
