Hi, would it be possible to link to the switch?
Are you concerned about how much power your hardware consumes?
I'm not sure what kind of link would be best, but sure. It's a Dell PowerConnect-5524. Picked it up from eBay I believe maybe 6 or 7 years ago. Not a particularly great switch, but it was cheap, had plenty of expansion, and some management capabilities. Consumes more power than I'd like though (~20-25w), and doesn't have some of the advanced capabilities of some newer switches.
For power consumption, yes. I prefer to use power efficient devices. The big standout in my lab is the NAS and Dell switch. The NAS is running very little, but still idles at ~100-110w so I'm looking at lowering that usage with a motherboard / processor swap in the future. It's using a server board and xenon processor which aren't really built for power efficiency. Swapping this to a recent consumer-grade board with an i3 would likely address this, but depending on chipset I'll probably loose ECC ram compatibility. I'd like to swap the switch to a more modern microtik 10g unit I think, with a large dumb swich; but I haven't settled on the idea for sure.
Thanks!
