Synology DiskStation DS416slim 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 its easier to monitor what power the device is using during each function.

The official power consumption peak figure for the DS416Slim is 17W but this figure was achieved using 1TB WD Red NAS drives, the drives we used for testing are the more power hungry WD Black performance drives.
