It's time I sorted out my at-home storage, some sort of NAS makes sense.



BUT, as this will be on 24/7 a big concern for me is power consumption,

still trying to keep our base-load really low.



Does anyone have any figures for what some of the consumer-level NAS
devices


pull?



I know I can build a mini-itx with HD consuming around 20-30w -- but if a

commercial unit will pull less then I might go that way instead.



Thanks,



Jon
