Unraid server power efficiency
Running an Energy Efficient Unraid Server
This blog goes over some best practices, tips + tricks, and build basics for users to run their Unraid servers in the most energy-efficient way possible.
- Don't use RAID/HBA cards
- Replaced an nVidia GPU with the intel integrated graphics built into the CPU - not too worried about excessive Plex transcoding streams
- Prefer 10G SFP+ passive DAC over 10G RJ45
- Prefer containers over VMs
- Spin Down Drives after a certain delay
