Comment on Super Power-Efficient ITX Nas CPU/Motherboard?
TCB13@lemmy.world 8 months agoI specifically had to set things up in the BIOS so that it would never enter any efficient power/sleep states
This is most likely why you’re running at 100W all the time. No need to further measure anything. Reset your BIOS to defaults, update the OS and you should be good.

It’s not that easy sadly. The entire NAS runs on Unraid and the issue is with that OS. I can’t switch without totally restarting from scratch which would be a huge data migration, and a massive PITA configuration-wise.

This kind of issues is why I now run everything on Debian.

Yeah good point. I’ve been slowly working to move away from Unraid for those reasons, and have been having fun trying NixOS.
Anyway, I just made a post on the official support forums so hopefully I can get this looked at. Since I initially had the problems many updates have come out, so maybe it’s not a thing anymore. I just can’t risk testing that for myself!
