I’m in the process of wiring a home before moving in and getting excited about running 10g from my server to the computer. Then I see 25g gear isn’t that much more expensive so I might was well run at least one fiber line. But what kind of three node ceph monster will it take to make use of any of this bandwidth (plus run all my Proxmox VMs and LXCs in HA) and how much heat will I have to deal with. What’s your experience with high speed homelab NAS builds and the electric bill shock that comes later? Epyc 7002 series looks perfect but seems to idle high.

    I use a Ryzen 5900x, RTX 3080, 2x 10Gbit sfp+ NIC, 128GB ECC RAM, and only 2x 20TB drives at the moment.

    For my gateway, I have an Intel N6005 box, I have a managed 2.5/10Gbit switch, and I have a wifi AP.

    I have a ton of Proxmox VMs and containers.

    All that hovers between 140W to 180W
