Synology DiskStation DS916+ 4-Bay NAS Review

We tested the peak power consumption of a NAS at the wall during a run of CrystalDiskMark 5.0.2  as this version of the benchmark runs the read and write benchmark suites separately so it's easier to monitor what power the device is using during each function.

With a CPU having a TDP of just 6W and four drives using an average of 6.4W when in Read/Write mode, 5.2W in idle mode and a standby mode of 0.7W, the DS916+ was never going to be that power hungry.
