Hi.
I was checking the review about the QNAP TS-873A and memory upgraded and inbox and noticed option in on the site.
So in the netherlands the energy prices are raising. last year it was around 17cents for 1kWH, it is now 53cent for 1kWh.
currently I having a HP microsver gen8, running openmediavault with ZFS.
it got a E3 1260L Xeon cpu with 16 GB Ram.
I got 2 times 8TB ZFS mirror for photo's and content so this pool can spin down.
and I got 2times 4TB ZFS mirror pool for docker and tempdata etc. I also hosting my site so this pool is always running.
when idle the server usage is around 80W and with some load example plex it is around 130W. that cost 440 euro each year to keep it running.
I was checking for a replacement for this. HP dont have home labs/stoarag prebuilds anymore and I also think a prebuild is more power efficient then building my own server.
I was thinking for an 8bay solution. adding 1 8Tb to the first pool with raidz1 and another 4TB disk for the 4TB pool.
with current those disk in mirror I loose 1/2 of it. when adding 1 more disk and migrate to raid1 from the 3 8TB disk, I have 16 available.
the QNAP TS-873A-8G
replace the memory with 2 times Kingston KSM26SED8/16GB ECC memories
is this a good prebuild for me ? it is also cheaper than example the TS-h973AX
the power usage is from idle 30W and under load 55W. so that is power saving of 50% of the current HP microserver gen8
the nas cost here around eur 1100 and the 32GB memories eur 160.
and the energy savings are with a 45W qnap this drops to euro 220. this is already euro 1000 in 4 years.
what you advise,
thanks,
Peter
