Power Consumption
Let us now check on just how much power the AS6208T needs in sleep, idle, and during heavy throughput.
We use a GW Instek GPM-8212 power analyzer for all our power consumption measurements.
Sleep, Idle and Load
The increased number of installed HDDs greatly influenced this server's power consumption since its CPU only needs a few watts of power.
Power Consumption in Standby Mode
Vampire power or phantom load is the amount of power 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.
