As someone who is looking to purchase their first NAS any advice on keeping the energy costs down (e.g. does particular NAS hardware or hard drives have running cost advantages in this area)? My main use case (at least initially) will be for storing and backing up photos for infrequent access.

Cost of storage though can be a bit expensive. I was able to find 20TB CMR drives for around $329 each.
