I have to say, I'm put off by the power benchmark. I have a way older system with way more stuff (6 3.5 inch HDD, 2 2.5 inch HDD, 2.5 inch SSD, 8-port SAS controller, Intel NIC card) and it idles (all drives spun down) at ~30 watts.
When I first bought the system over 10 years ago, ZFS on Linux wasn't really a thing, so I used FreeBSD. I later switched and with the switch came substantial power savings.
- mtlynch 4y agoOh, that's interesting. TrueNAS is available on Debian now, so I wonder if there would be a big drop in power consumption. Lawrence Systems just ran benchmarks[0] between TrueNAS Core (FreeBSD) and TrueNAS Scale (Debian), but they didn't include power consumption, unfortunately.
