How Much Electricity Does A NAS Use and How Much Does it Cost to run 24×7?

If you are looking at buying a HIGH CAPACITY but COMPACT NAS drive in 2022/2023, then you will likely also be wondering just about much power it is going to use. The growing cost of electricity and how much you ned to factor this into your budget is quite a valid concern. Due to any one of about a hundred different global factors (local conflict, slow renewable energy uptake, monopolizing energy companies with powerful lobbying – take your pick!) most of us in 2022/2023 have seen increases in energy costs. In this energy-aware climate, it can be appreciated that a NAS drive (a 24×7 appliance) seemingly has its cost to the end user in terms of electricity as something of a vague number. With so many kinds of NAS available in the market, featuring a mix of CPUs, PSUs, Bays and utilities, PLUS the wide range of HDD/SSD drives in the market to choose from – there are just so many variables when trying to work out how much power your NAS drive is using and how much that is translating to in your monthly energy bill! So, today’s article is about working out how much electricity the new 2022/2023 generation QNAP TS-464 NAS and four (current maximum capacity in the NAS HDD world) WD Red Pro 22TB HDDs will consume, as well as how much that equals to you in £, $ or € per day, month and year! We tested the popular 2020 generation desktop 4-Bay NAS system previously HERE, so this will be a notably more power-hungry setup by comparison. In order to keep an eye on usage, I connected them to an energy monitor and worked out how much power they used in full active use and in idle. Let’s begin.
