Power Consumption

Let us now check on just how much power the TS-453A 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 low; however, the TS-451+ with a similar amount of RAM and the Celeron J1900 consumed less power even though the J1900 has a higher TDP than the N3150 inside the TS-453A.

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, vampire power should not exceed 0.5 W.



The NAS easily meets the ErP Lot 6 2013 directive with ErP mode enabled.
