I’m trying to improve the power consumption of my NAS.
The 2 (7200 rpm) HDDs I had were using 15W at idle and 5W when spun down.
I’m reading a lot of conflicting information about what is lower power between HDD, SSD and NVMe SSD.
Eventually I started looking at SATA SSD (please let me know if this is not the most power efficient)
I found this site that shows a benchmark of different SSDs and their average power consumption.
I was about to go with WD Red but then I found a YouTube video saying I shouldn’t go with WD for a NAS.
Can you tell me what brand or model you’re using in your homelab that’s power efficient? Ideally I would like 4TB SSD.
