Serversuperstore Enterprise Proliant DL360 G9 Server, 2X E5-2650v3 20 Cores, 32GB, P440, 4X G9 HDD Trays (Renewed)

The CPUs in these came out in 2014. An N100 uses 1/20 the power, is faster in single core, and about half as fast in multi core. Ryzen's obviously annihilate these in CPU performance.These IDLE at about 120 watts. That's about a THOUSAND KILOwatt hours a year. Take your power bill's KWH rate and multiply by a thousand to get how much these cost per year. $0.25/kwhr? $250/yr. Again, that's IDLE. Under load expect triple that, more if you put in a dedicated GPU. Note the built in GPU is less than trash for any actual graphics stuff, but fine for loading up a hypervisor.So who should buy one of these?Someone who wants to play with multi networking, on ESXi supported platforms, or otherwise wants to experiment with ILo (license not included) and a rack mount hardware. Note the fans are LOUD on boot up, and very noticeable when under load, but tolerable in the same room while idle. If you want to play with RAID, and a quad nic device, its not the worst option.PLEASE don't use it as a NAS. You're better off getting a Synology or Terra Master, or just toss a few drives in a generic PC case and it'll still take up less space than these relics. The ASUS NVME 2.5g/10g ones ares also a way better option and cheaper if you factor in the power cost for a couple years.

Would make a great NAS or SMB File Server
