I think what people need to appreciate is that on any low-power system like mini-ITX, Mac Mini, NAS, etc, the majority of the power consumption is due to the hard disk(s), and that's going to be the same regardless of the platform.
I too run a mini-ITX server (a 533MHz fanless version), and with no disks spinning it consumes about 10W. My setup has two 3.5" disks (400GB and 300GB), and with them both spinning it consumes about 40W. My guess is that if it had a single 750GB disk, consumption would probably be about 25W. -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37416 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
