14 days agoMy 10 year old ITX NAS build with 4 HDDs used 40W at idle. Just upgraded to an Aoostart WTR Pro with the same 4 HDDs, uses 28W at idle. My power bill currently averages around US$0.13/kWh.
I’d view it as the longer you can keep using the current pair, the longer you can save money towards the eventual replacement.
