Out of curiosity, what has been your experience on noise and power consumption with your r220 and r240 servers?
They’re pretty decent. Really depends on the temperature.
If the room is cool you hear the hard drives over the chassis fans. Power is totally dependent on the CPU. I put a 4790k in the R220 and it would sit around 45-55w average with two 3.5” drives.
