Power Consumption
Let us now check on just how much power the QGD-1602P needs in sleep, idle, and during heavy throughput.
I use a GW Instek GPM-8212 power analyzer for all power-consumption measurements.
Idle and Load
Power consumption is higher than with a standalone NAS because of the switch, so I will take that into account.
