Power Consumption

Let us now check on just how much power the N2810 Pro 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

Power consumption is pretty low in all cases.

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.



With 0.25 W vampire power while ErP mode is enabled, the NAS easily meets the ErP Lot 6 2013 requirements.
