I am already running Snapraid and machines do spindown after sometime, but it’s still around 50w.

Thank you, this is what I am thinking too. I don’t wanna create e-waste, and apart from power consumption, the nas is very handy performance wise and tackles all load.

Thank you, this is what I needed to know. I thought n100 (similar to what dedicated nas has 6-10w) would bring power down considerably, and thanks to you, I now know it’s not the case.

I actually have an extension cord with IoT chip. Can measure power consumption via home assistant.

Ram is definitely abysmal on Qnap, so it’s one reason for hesitation. But I wanted to get some idea how much power saving is possible on dedicated NAS. If it’s not much, I would rather keep my PC.

It’s 6th gen i5 processor with gigabyte motherboard. And Qnap is ts-531x.

On the other hand, Bundeswehr (German Military) runs their infrastructure on Google Cloud.

Rural usually means Hillbillies.

don’t hold your breath

Thanks for setting expectations

Yeah, give terminators Neo like abilities

I am thinking of deploying a RAG system to ingest all of Linus’s emails, commit messages and pull request comments, and we will have a Linus chatbot.
