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.
Using a processor with a TDP of just 6W, the AS6204T is a pretty energy efficient for a quad-core powered NAS. Our 6TB WD Red test drives have an average read/write power rating of just 5.3W each.
