A Dell T110-II with a quad core xeon and 4x4GB RAM and and a 3.5" HDD idles around 21W. It really depends on the systems.

- Felger 4y agoHad almost the same setup and saw about 32W idle on mine. T110 II with Xeon E3 1220, 4 Gb RAM ECC, 1x 128 GB SATA SSD + 1x 6 To HDD IronWolf on a PERC H200 PCIe card. With a WD 10 GB external HDD, the UPS gives me a 50W load.
- jeffbee 4y agoPeople fail to grasp that a thing drawing power at idle is the memory, which doesn't have a useful idle state. It must be refreshed constantly. 16GB is pretty reasonable. 8GB would be more efficient if you can get away with it. If you lard up a workstation with tons of RAM you don't need, you pay for it on your power bill.
