As I changed my PC setup to a small Intel I7 NUC I was in need of a bigger storage than the SSD in the guts of the NUC. My old synology NAS only provides one bay and is a closed system from Synology. Therefore I was checking around and now found a super nice solution based on a open source system. The overal consumption in standby/idle is around 6,5W. Under heavy load it increases up to 20W. So a low cost, energy saving NAS with raid and a lot of power ressources is possible in 2019. Stay tuned I will provide the next time some benchmarks…
