Power Consumption

Let us now check on just how much power the XN3002T consumes 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 server's power consumption is low, which is as expected if we take into account its weak CPU.

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 be below 0.5 W.



This NAS consumes more power than it should in idle, even with the Wake On LAN option disabled.
