Thank you, this is what I am thinking too. I don’t wanna create e-waste, and apart from power consumption, the nas is very handy performance wise and tackles all load.

Thank you, this is what I needed to know. I thought n100 (similar to what dedicated nas has 6-10w) would bring power down considerably, and thanks to you, I now know it’s not the case.

I actually have an extension cord with IoT chip. Can measure power consumption via home assistant.

Ram is definitely abysmal on Qnap, so it’s one reason for hesitation. But I wanted to get some idea how much power saving is possible on dedicated NAS. If it’s not much, I would rather keep my PC.

It’s 6th gen i5 processor with gigabyte motherboard. And Qnap is ts-531x.

windows 11 is 3 times faster than windows 10

Yes, it’s true. It took me 3 times as fast to know that it’s shit.

It will never get solved. Kashmir stayed in conflict and bloodshed, favors both India and Pakistan. The latest escalation gave Modi justification to continue sidelining Muslims in India, pass authoritative measures and push the dissolution of waqf assets to be seized by govenrment, while on other side, it also allowed hugely unpopular Pakistani military, to gather public support and clamp down on political opposition and undermine any remaining democracy in the country.
