Power Consumption

Let us now check on just how much power the AS3202T needs in sleep, idle, and during heavy throughput.

We use a GW Instek GPM-8212 power analyzer for all of our power consumption measurements.

Sleep, Idle and Load

Power consumption is very low, although the difference to the AS3102T is notable.

Power Consumption in Standby Mode

Vampire power or phantom load is the amount of power that a device consumes when it is switched off but still plugged into the power grid. According to the ErP Lot 6 2013 directive, it should be below 0.5 W.



This NAS easily meets the ErP Lot 6 2013 requirements so long as it is enabled in ADM.
