Last night I was measuring the power usage of a little NAS unit
compared to
a PC and thought the info might be useful to some here. The NAS uses
18Watts and the PC almost 150Watts.
Using this calculator...
http://www.ukpower.co.uk/running-costs-elec.asp
..the annual 24/7 running costs for each work out as follows
NAS - =A317.38
PC - =A3144.80
Those costs don't include VAT and are based on current NI price of 11.02p
per kWh. But whatever your own prices, the NAS could cost only 12% of the
cost of running a similar PC based fileserver!
Another scary thing I noticed is that when the Dell PC was shut down, it
wa=
s
still using 14Watts?!?!?
