Storage Watts

[picker]

rprade's outstanding description of his new server included its wattage load:



which motivated me to look at mine which was recently rebooted. (long story)

looking at the WattUp's min/max rather than the graph, the resting load of my mac pro and Q6600 PC is 240 watts. So that makes the startup load of my 12 black disk server @ 360 watts and its resting load at 180.

Pls post your resting and max wattage along with the number of disks your supporting.

How do you have that setup I'm thinking of building a very similar build

You mean software? Right now it's running vSphere 4.1 with the drive controllers passed through to a Nexenta VM.
