My 7700x is 5 times that wattage. Granted, it gas 128gb, a380, 4 hdd, 2 SSD, 40gb nic, tpu, and 25 VMs running on it.
The lesson here is that I’ve way over-spec’d my machine.
Comment on good replacement options power efficiency and affordable "large" storage

Perhaps my recent NAS/home server build can serve as a bit of an inspiration for you:
- AMD Ryzen 8500G (8 cores, much more powerful than your two CPUs, with iGPU)
- Standard B650 mainboard, 32 GB RAM
- 2 x used 10 TB HDDs in a ZFS pool (mainboard has 4x SATA ports)
- Debian Bookworm with Docker containers for applications (containers should be more efficient than VMs).
- Average power consumption of 19W. Usually cooled passively.
I don’t think it’s more efficient to separate processing and storage so I’d only go for that if you want to play around with a cluster. I would also avoid SD cards as a root FS, as they tend to die early and catastrophically.

That system also sounds a lot more capable than mine. How did you end up with 25 VMs?
lemming741@lemmy.world 1 month ago
It’s not 5x capable, is my point.
About 10 of those VMs are running a single docker image. It runs great but I know better now.

Oh hell yeah. I wouldn’t trust an SDCard to anything important except maybe a Pi where the actual OS is fairly unimportant and the data is stored elsewhere.
I had been wondering about the G series Ryzen. Is this running in a standard tower or something rackable?
stuner@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I’m running it in a regular mATX case (Node 804) but I think you can also get AM5 motherboards in rack-mount cases.
