I'm considering getting a pico PSU for my NAS to see if I can make it more power efficient.
For you guys that are using these PSU's did you check your power usage before and after? And if so what was the difference?
Right now My NAS is drawing 37 watts at idle and the case has a a 200 watt 80% efficiency PSU.
My NAS setup is
Case - Thermaltake Element Q VL52021N2U
mobo - intel d945gclf2d
hard drive - 1 2.5 sata & 1 3.5 sata
No optical drives
Whats your take on these PSU's?
