Thank you for that :)

Back on topic :) With the Perc connected, 4 X sata harddisk and 1 ssd the Device, the device i use to check the power consumption now shows. Hours : 5 kW: 0,41 0,82w pr hour (and i know that i can't say that, but don't know the right term. But i think most know what i mean) Think i will just...

What do you mean?

New update :) The system have now been running with 1 SSD and 4 sata harddisks for 18 hours and used 0,95kW, which average 53w pr hour. The 2 extra sata harddisks have added 2w pr hour like they should, which was the same as the first 2. Just connected the Perc 5, lets see if that is a power...

New update :) The system have now been running with 1 SSD and 2 sata harddisks for 8 hours and used 0,41kW, which average 51w pr hour. The 2 sata harddisks have added 2w pr hour like they should. Just connected 2 more drives to the motherboard, so lets see in 4-8 hours :)

Read a few reviews where they said that it could be used, but it was not adviced since it was too slow/clunky. So i just assumed that they were right :) How many vm's do you have running? Can the disk still spin down on the nas, if the vm's are running?

Just a small update :) The system have now been running with 1 SSD disk for 17 hours and used 0,83kW, which average 49W pr hour. Will connect 2 Sata drives to the motherboard and see how it works out. Peanuthead@ i do actually have a synology DS412+ but always thought it was too slow for...

I use GhettoVCB and can recomment it. It make take some time to figure out the script, but once that it done it is really easy to use.

Seems like i should be able to get the same 40w in idle. What storage solution do you use?

free pic windows screenshot tool Don't think Esxi likes the new bios :) Hope it is just visual.

I updates the bios and checked the settings, seems ok. Power technology is set to Efficient at the moment. It is now running with 1 ssd drive with esxi booted from usb and with 1 VM running. I'll let it run until tomorrow and check the Time/kWat. Thanks for all the replies so far :)

Bios Settings: Intel Hyper Threading = Enabled Active Processor Cores = All Turno Boost = Enabled Power Technology = Energy Efficient - If i chance it to custom, then i can set EIST and Cstate+Pstate Custom: Eist = Enabled Pstate = HW_ALL CPU C3 = Disabled CPU C6 = Enabled Package C state limit...

I disconnected the perc and all the harddisks, connected a 80gb Intel X-25 SSD and moved the Server2008 (which is my main vm). Lets see the results of that. @Faugusztin: No Perc but 4 X harddisk = 100W No Perc but 2 X harddisk = 97W Something is really wrong @shnelson The psu is a 80Plus (was...

I changed the power management in vSphere from Balanced to Low and it seems to drop around 10W

Thanks for the reply :) I had a gut feeling that the drives were messing up the power consumption. Might have to test the drives individually to see what is going on. I know it will mess up the raid10, but it will be worth it in the long run. The motherboard is really nice and i love the IPMI...
