Power consumption
Posted: Wed Dec 21, 2011 4:29 am
I want to know what you think about the power consumption of my HDA.
It uses in idle about 56watts. Do you think that is high or good for a HDA?
I have the following main components in my HDA
AMD Athlon(tm) Dual Core Processor 4850e (1 GHz) (cool 'n quiet)
Asus M4A78-HTPC
/dev/sda WDC WD5000AADS (caviar green)
/dev/sdb WDC WD5000AAKS (caviar blue)
/dev/sdc SAMSUNG HD204UI (ecogreen)
Be Quiet! Pure Power L7 350W
Antec Performance One Mini P180
Until now I don't really use any processing power. Just for downloading and storage.
Should it be a good idea to invest in lower power consumption equipment like a intel atom or something like that?
I interested in what you think.
Cheers Dan.
