Power-efficient servers for Proxmox/Ceph homelab?
I’m looking for recommendations for power-efficient (low idle power) servers for a small Proxmox + Ceph homelab cluster. Ideally something like Dell or HPE (rack!)
My main goal is to keep electricity usage as low as possible while still having enough performance for a few VMs and a Ceph setup (likely 3 nodes). Used/refurb hardware is totally fine.
Does anyone have experience with specific models that idle at low wattage or are known to be particularly efficient?
