What the NAS costs to keep spinning
I measured my TrueNAS box at 81 W before touching spindown. The waste wasn't the disks. It was a Pascal GPU left without a driver by 25.10 and two blank USB drives. Spindown doesn't suit a pool that hosts apps, so I put a community driver back on the card and left the disks alone.
