Asustor Drivestor 4 (AS1104T) 4-bay NAS Review

Simon Crisp July 7, 2022 Featured Tech Reviews, NAS, Network, Reviews, Tech News

We tested the peak power consumption of a NAS at the wall during a run of CrystalDiskMark 7 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.

Asustor quote power consumption figures for the Drivestor 4 of 22.8W in use and 9.41W (Disk Hibernation) using WD Red 3TB drives (4.8 W active read/write, 3.1W idle and 0.4W standby and sleep). Using 6TB Red drives (WD60EFRX) we saw an average of 31.7W for active read/writes and 9W idle. The WD60EFRX is a slightly more power-hungry drive at 5.3W active and 3.4W idling.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
