Schnapps Posted July 13, 2013 Share #2 Posted July 13, 2013 Hey mate, You packed there a really nice DIYN blog! Congrats. I hope it will help some people into choosing xpenology I've tested them all(except U-NAS) and in comparison to DSM, they kinda all suck. Later edit: I own a watt-meter and i had checked my nas. It's in full load at 55W. Yours is close, not ~120 as you mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnapps Posted July 14, 2013 Share #4 Posted July 14, 2013 Yes, an E350. It does more than a good job for this kind of NAS. Maximum power load 147W (1.3.3 Power Supply Selection) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximum power load 147W (1.3.3 Power Supply Selection) Oh i see... What i meant was, 147W is the estimated max power drawn based on 6 HDDs during bootup.
