QNAP TS-328 3-bay NAS Review

Simon Crisp August 2, 2018 Featured Tech Reviews, NAS, Network, Professional Featured, Reviews

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 specification sheet for the TS-328 has power figures of 7.25W in HDD standby and 18.35W in operation but we couldn't find any mention on the spec sheet which drives were being used to get these figures. The 6TB WD Red drives we used for testing have 0.4W standby/sleep, 3.4W idle and 5.3W active read/write power ratings.
