I've got a Windows Home Server running right now which I intend to change to a Freenas box. Right now I only turn it on when I need it, but the Freenas box will be on 24/7 and as such I've been looking at minimizing power consumption. System specs:
Motherboard: Intel DG45ID MicroATX
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 2,40GHz
Hard Drives: 4 x 1TB, various brands (2 x WD, 1 Samsung, 1 Seagate).
Power Supply: Enermax 400W
Obviously the power supply is overkill but it's what I had laying around at the time. Right now I'm thinking of replacing it with a 200W Pico PSU, but would that power the system suffeciently? Could I go even lower to say 150W?
The Freenas system will be running ZFS RAIDZ.
Looking forward to any input!
