I’ve just bought a R730XD with 12x6TB 3,5 SAS in the front, 4x4TB 3,5 SATA inside, 2x300GB 2,5 SAS in the back and 3 controller cards.
It was 300W+ on idle running fresh proxmox, no VMs. Took the cards out because i don’t plan to use them yet and were running hot, and the consuption dropped to 255W.
Planning to take some HDDs out to have some spares after planning the TrueNAS/VMs i want to use.
A little sad about it because the 12 drive bays in the front packed full with hdds looks really nice.
