HI all, ive spent most of the morning looking at how to control the power usage more. Ive set the power deamon on. ive also set the HDD to spin down etc but can anyone help reduce the watts further. if possible? IE got to one of the power saving states suspend, standby etc.
Im currently pulling 37-43watts idle-access, spin up peaks at 54 watts booting hits a bit higher still.
ive got an atom d2700mud MB
300w ATX
1 stick of 4gb ram
4x 500gb HDD 3.5"'s in a icydock caddy with fan!
im using onboad lan, onboard graphics card, passive heatsink,
I will be wanting to install a 4x sata raid card but havent bought it yet..
Sorry if there are threads else where but i have been trying to find them, im a bit green to freenas as well!!!:)
cheers
