Reduced power consumption when migrating from TrueNAS Core

I finally made the switch over to TrueNAS Scale Electric Eel from TrueNAS Core and I was pleasantly surprised with the results and wanted to share. I was running a VM in my previous setup to host containers, so switching enabled me to no longer need this VM and run the containers natively. I believe that this may be a big part of the benefit I am seeing. My power consumption reduced by about 29%!!! I went from using 60 kWh to 42 kWh per month.

Great data do you mind if we promote it?
That’s about $10 month savings in CA
