crowdx42 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Hi all, i have been using Unraid for several years, I have two servers, one which serves as a backup to the main server. The main server which runs 24/7 has 20 drives and has a Corsair 1100 watt PSU (I think). I have been considering purchasing a Synology 8 bay NAS as a replacement to the main server (which even though I have 20 drives at 92tb, it is at 52% used). The synology would run Sonarr and back up weekly to the current main server. Would I see tangible savings on power consumption with the Synology? I live in California, so power is expensive :) . Thoughts? Patrick McC Quote Link to comment
debit lagos Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Would you be able to spec out your "main server"? That way we know what hardware your running. A Kill-a-Watt meter could give you a look at what your actual wattage draw is. For comparison, I've got a 800W power supply, but only pull 189 watts during most daily tasks. I believe my TVS-871 was around 115-130W with eight 6TB Red's in it. But with that said, completely different hardware... There's a possibility you could reduce your power consumption... Just depends in your hardware and storage requirements are. Quote Link to comment
