I don't know how that Synology DS423+ could consume 50W idle. It seems veeery strange to me. I mean, my E5-2620 V2 on a 10/15 years old Supermicro motherboard with 16GB of RAM, 4 idle SATA 3,5" hard drives and 2 SSD is consuming 55W! Something doesn't sound right to me.
My simple itx 2700X server with 2 HDDs was idling significantly less than 55W that his synology was and it isn't even have low idle power consumption like the synology.
Definitely something off with his method or configuration.
Key word, is idle.
Synology... and HDD hibernation don't really go together very well. If you have containers running, it won't let the HDDs hibernate at all. And- I have a minio instance running.
46 watts.. but, yea, I expected lower.
But, suppose when its spinning 4x seagate exos, they like their juice.
It apparently doesn't allow HDD hibernation while containers are running, and doesn't appear to like to use any sleep states.
