Hi all,
I'm almost new to Freenas but I'm assembling my second Nas, first one was based on Windows 7.
The priority for this Nas was power consumption: it has to be as low as possible.
Currently power consumption is about 28W with two 2.5" disks, 16Gb DDR3 1333, Celeron G1610 on ASUS P8H61-I LX R2.0 (Intel H61) Mini-ITX Motherboard and the 160W stock power pack.
My question is: would I lower power consumption replacing the 160W stock power pack with a 150W Pico-PSU and 150W external brick?
