QNAP TS-809 Pro Turbo NAS
Jun 23rd, 2009 | By SimonCrystal Disk Mark and ATTO Disk Benchmark are more conventional benchmarking applications. They do the exact same as IOZone and IOMeter but in a far more simplified manner. The only take a minute or two to completed versus the several hours it takes to finish one run with IOZone.
I’m always curious to know how much power my newest toy consumes. Toronto has just introduced time of use billing where peak hours are charged at significantly higher rates than low usage rates. The TS-809 Pro Turbo NAS doesn’t do too bad. There is a phantom load of 4W when the device is sleeping. When idle there is a consumption rate of 68W and active transferring eats up 90. The heaviest usage comes when the drives are being compiled to a particular RAID configuration. This is because the processor is in full use. We max out at 100W in this case.
