That's too bad, but awesome that you were able to put something together. I have some HP servers that I am getting ready to shutter and I wish that I could set one up as a node at some point. I'd be interested to know what kind of traffic you get. I think that is where my issue would be. I think they are both DL 380 or 360 G6 servers.

You'd see high traffic usage during the initial sync as it has to pull in the 450is gigs of the blocks but after that, it's just smooth sailing with minimal usage. The values that @nuthman shared seem right.
Okay, thanks!
I actually didn't know that myself! I just had a look at the router for that machine:
This it does go up and down slightly but not much. Once in a while it barely spikes when it updates the price feed as well.
It certainly doesn't effect my internet speed or reach my monthly bandwidth limits.
I'm sure you could. If you are using SSDs, I might recommend running a couple in RAID 0 to get the extra speed. Rishi was worried that SSDs are starting to not keep up. But I am not completely convinced of that theory. But since they are relatively cheap it wouldn't hurt to stripe them anyway.
I know SSD's have limits on read/writes, but it still seems like they would be able to keep up better than a traditional drive. The speeds are just so much better. It's really only recently that they even offer them in servers for RAID Arrays, so I guess we are all still learning just how effective they can be. Those numbers don't look too bad, but I think it would probably be a conflict of interest for me to spin one up at work!
