Trying to wrangle in my R730XD now, have it fully populated with 12 HDDs. Did a downgrade to a more efficient CPU but it didn’t help much at idle. Replacing the 750w PSU for the 495W one did.
CPU does help during load though… running 2x E5-2630Ls.
When the disks spin down it idles a lot less so I just ordered 2 SSDs for the flex bay to migrate noisy applications over. It’s mostly a Plex/file server
