Am in the process of contemplating upgrading my server to cut down the power bill?
I've got 24 spinners spread over 2 ZFS Raidz2 pools , so I am pretty sure that the 400 watts that I am currently drawing has a lot to do with them.
Question that I am wrestling with is how much power savings am I going to get by upgrading the current motherboard Dual CPUs SM X8DTH-IF L5639 to a Single CPU X10SRL-F E526xx v3?
I think the answer will be to reduce the number of drives by buying larger ones, but am curious.
