Hi
Can system be put to sleep and resumed with the power button like a desktop windows PC can?
So switch off overnight when not in use with quick resume in the morning.
Any figures on Power consumption when at idle or under normal load assuming modern CPU + Watts per HDD?
FYI I'm looking at 14 x 3TB drive internally plus two lots of 4 x 3TB drive via eSATA ports (see other post).
With the cost of electricity these days it would be good to have an idea of Watts drawn.
Also, am I correct in thinking CPU cores and clock don't really matter (except maybe for Socket Chipset support - see other post) and that a two core celeron will do as good a job as an 4 core 8 thread core i7 or does 'horsepower' actually make a difference with FreeNAS in some instances?
With thanks
