I dread to think what my network equipment is pulling..... 

In fact I dread to think what my network lab pulls when it's powered up as well. 

I've turned all gay and enabled some power saving features of the switch that is on all the time 


If you have a Cisco 12000, can I come round in the winter for warmth?

I can recommend one of these, if you really want to know (wait for it to be on special offer and you'll get it for a tenner, too.

I've got something similar......I was quite surprised when i check my old celerion pc to my newish I5.
Old Pc was using 150w just sitting there doing nothing.....newish I5 takes 60w doing nothing (This doesnt include monitor)

My i5 based MCE is about 60W playing a DVD, according to the (probably wildly inaccurate) eon gadget

I've had 3 hd's in the old celery one, 2 of them (2x1TB in raid1) got moved over to the i5, so 3 in the i5 as well. That will increase the watts a bit.......however i have noticed if the 2 x 1TB's are not accessed for a period of time, they spin down...not checked the power consumption when that happens....

Likely to be newer than the junk Terbs has rammed in his, so very possibly less than 10W each

JUNK... JUNK.. State of the art this computer....I'll have you know NASA would love it in their set-up

looking at the above figures , no one seems to be using SSD disks!

Nope, however I noticed a 6509 in the corner of a site I visited the other day which looked like it needed a new home and just for a minute I considered it..... Then I thought a) I haven't got enough twin and earth cable to reach the nearest lamppost to the house and b) I really would Like Mrs VXL to cook my tea for me.

Only in my laptops and netbook.

There is one in the server here as well.

Dump anything smaller than 1Tb, and consolidate on to fewer, more energy efficient, larger, faster drives.

If you'd like to send me 40TB of SSD drives, I'd be more than happy to switch to them

[Kevin Wood]

  With a collection of disks old enough to be that small, on 15 hours a day, probably a couple of spinups a day, I'd get rid of them before they go pop and dump all your data. Chuck everything on a single green drive of a couple of TB and you'll save a good few watts too.

Put the OS on a SSD though, 60GB is plenty.

Yes turn the speed down in summer  but in winter just think of it all as an extra heater

Yes I agree, get rid of all those old small SATA drives (I will pay the postage to Spain). You deserve modern stuff.
