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
German brains started malfunctioning as soon as you criticize Israel's actions, and they easily end up justifying Nazi atrocities, in support of Israel. Kinda explains those past Nazi rallies where people from all walks of life were chanting Heil.
Well Saudi Arabia has been doing its own genocide in Yemen, so Saudi Arabia joining Israel is just birds of same feather flocking together.
I am already running Snapraid and machines do spindown after sometime, but it's still around 50w.
