Ugreen NASync DXP4800Plus 4-bay NAS Review

We tested the peak power consumption of a NAS at the wall during a run of CrystalDiskMark 8.0.4 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.

The NASync DXP4800Plus uses an Intel Pentium Gold 8505 CPU which has a base power rating of 15W rising to 55W at maximum turbo power, The WD Red (WD60EFRX) drives we used for testing have an active power rating of 5.3W with an idling figure of 3.4W. The NAS averaged 24.25W in idle mode with a 2.5GbE connection rising to 30.45W using 10GbE. Peak reads with a 2.5GBbE connection averaged 52.07W and 58.17W using 10GbE. Peak writes using a 2.5GbE connection came in at 61.35W while with 10GbE they averaged 67.02W.
