Lol...damn! don't let the cat outta the bag though it's obvious.

I've finally completed BYON including the documentations. Here are the final 3 posts. 3.5.1 CIFS Benchmarks 3.5.2 iSCSI Benchmarks 3.6 Summary Last but not least, please participate in this poll for two short questions related to BYON. 3.7 BYON Poll

3rd setup - U-NAS testing results are out! 3.4.1 U-NAS Performance Test 3.4.2 U-NAS Functionality Test If you are interested, take a look and compare XPEnology results with it. I will post Benchmark Charts soon.

Oh i see... What i meant was, 147W is the estimated max power drawn based on 6 HDDs during bootup.

Thank you! I am glad that the information I've documented serve useful reference for others. This is contribution to the forum which I have benefited from I suppose your NAS is a E-350? Your full load at 55W is pretty modest considering you have 4 HDDs. But I don't recall mentioning anything about 120W?
