Old workstation as a daily used server - power concerns UK
  • My ballpark figure would be 100-150W idle for the dual xeon setup. Taking out one CPU would probably drop you 30-40W.

    Modern Ryzen still isn't very efficient at idle (at least not for me).

    If you're really concerned about power cost: get a used SFF business PC like a Prodesk G4 or something. That'll get you idle draw around 10-15W (and chances are the CPU actually beats the Xeon at most tasks).

    Network traffic speed goes sooo slow on my NAS
  • Nice troubleshooting steps, even though you're (still) mixing up some units ;)

    I'm guessing something in the network card or its driver, or an issue in your network (congestion, flooding?).

    Any chance you can manually reload/restart the networking system? I don't know about OMV but on a linux distro it's usually a matter of restarting networking/NetworkManager etc.
