2 months agoI think they are more efficient than years ago yes, but some chips are consuming more power overall too. Yes what took up 40u a while ago can now fit in 10u but data centers aren’t reducing in size, they’ll just fill that 40 with more hardware
I have this at home and enjoy it. What will your work use it for?
Resource usage and storage would be the main things to look out for. Octi really does need ssds as hdds will slow it to a crawl, a good amount of ram is nice but not fully a requirement for home use
