I don’t know how that Synology DS423+ could consume 50W idle. It seems veeery strange to me. I mean, my E5-2620 V2 on a 10/15 years old Supermicro motherboard with 16GB of RAM, 4 idle SATA 3,5" hard drives and 2 SSD is consuming 55W! Something doesn’t sound right to me.
My simple itx 2700X server with 2 HDDs was idling significantly less than 55W that his synology was and it isn’t even have low idle power consumption like the synology.
Definitely something off with his method or configuration.
Yeah, it’s good to see actual data to back up claims, and TBH, justify what some of us were probably thinking, but didn’t have the time / motivation to research… like many Ras Pis vs 1 traditional PC.
Good article, nice use of data.
