![]() ![]() If it was a desktop, at $60/year (with 50% discount), you're looking at 10 disks per desktop for this to come close to breaking even as far as power savings. Looking at the server licensing, it says servers are $350/year, and so I'll assume you can get 50% off (which I doubt they're discounting that much), meaning you'd need a server with shelf of 50 disks for this to break even in energy costs. Assuming 80% efficiency, I know we have 96W DC for $180/year, which means one hard drive is going to cost me about $28/year to run.Īssuming diskeeper can reduce the power your disks usage by 10% (and that's pushing it, I'm sure), you're going to save about $3/year per disk. ![]() I know a hard drive is going to be about (12W) plus (3W) at full load, or about 15W. Let's double that number to $180/year just to prove my point. I know I can buy (120W AC) in a datacenter for less than $90/year without doing much haggling. I'm not an expert on power costs of computing, but I can do basic math. No particular reason, just habit or grumpiness, pick one.Īnyone have comments to this? I'm looking to save about $4k in licensing.ĭoubt it will pay for itself in power costs, that's some bullshit. Lastly, installing another service on a server is the last thing I like to do. This also leads me to believe that if properly designed, enterprise-grade equipment (RAID10, 10k or 15k SAS drives, fiber-attached SAN) fragmentation really doesn't matter. We'll, i pulled the trigger and asked our Diskeeper rep how much i'd save by cancelling our server licenses, and now their telling me that I'm going to spend more money in the long run due to energy costs. So, I did some test, mainly watch what our disk queues were like and how long it took for our tape backup to run on a file server that has been running for about 2-3 years without any defrag, installed diskeeper and waited until it said things were better, then performed the same tests (actually, just looked over the existing data since I'm tracking disk queues and logging the backup times already). In Server-world, I didn't have as much luck in determining if it was worthwhile. ![]() ost's get cleaned up and turn a sluggish machine into a usable one.
