I’m in the process of wiring a home before moving in and getting excited about running 10g from my server to the computer. Then I see 25g gear isn’t that much more expensive so I might was well run at least one fiber line. But what kind of three node ceph monster will it take to make use of any of this bandwidth (plus run all my Proxmox VMs and LXCs in HA) and how much heat will I have to deal with. What’s your experience with high speed homelab NAS builds and the electric bill shock that comes later? Epyc 7002 series looks perfect but seems to idle high.

    The last time I checked, mine runs at about 5-10 watts usually.

      Are you sure. I was thinking those specs you would be more in the 50-80 watts range.

        Yep, my homeserver spends most of it’s time idling, so power management kicks in.

        Now when one of my build VMs are running, it’ll get up to that range, but that’s why I said it runs at 10 watts usually
