I can't tell. It's a specialized distribution and I am currently

SmartOS does not work well on my HP ProLiant DL360 G7.
But I am just recently started playing with it so I cannot say much
about internal details yet.
I would prefer to use SmartOS but I have been told on IRC that it is
for data center and thus
power consumption is irrelevant.
You are using a computer that sounds like a jet engine and you are
worried about power consumption? :)
Since Gen6 the HP ProLiant servers are quiet. I only hear a soft wisper
from it as long as there is no high load on it.
Even under high load it's far form sounding like a jet engine. Have a
look at https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/wiki/dbbtu
That gives some valuable information ;-)
It is sort of a funny statement all around. Data centers spend lots of
money on power and air conditioning where one begets the other. so I
am not sure why one wouldnt care about power. I am curious, what power
related thing is making your G7 "not work well"?
Running the machine (2*L5630, 32GB RAM, 1 300GB SAS drive) idles around
100W under EXSi. Fans are at 23%.
Proxmox has a similar power consumption with fans at 20%.
SmartOS (as of end of March) idles at around 130W with fans at 34%. The
sound at this speed is still bearable but not whisper quiet like on Proxmox.
