502W with all drives spinning at idle, 516W during a RAID 0 benchmark, and 640W peak (as measured) during the final batch of drive spinups at boot. If I only run 15 drives, it runs around 200W. So with 60 drives and a Raspberry Pi as the CPU, this XL60 chassis will eat up around 360 kWh per month.
I guess if I could afford 60 drives, the electricity cost wouldn't phase me, but 360 kWh would more than double my electricity usage!
