This looks like a test I should run on my WHS.

Heya,

Nice. Intel released benchmarking software for NAS... NAS?!?! And they wont let it work on AMD cpu's?

Weaksauce.

Cheers,

To Toms Hardware:

Please add powerconsumption in all your benchmarks (at the wall). The only reason for me to buy a NAS (over a miniitx) is powerconsumption and heat generated.

Hrm,

I too am interested in that Smelly_Feet.

As it is, I use an older computer with some drives in it running FreeNAS. I have no real reason to look into stand-alone-options. If however there are things that use less energy all the time, I'd be tempted to switch things around.

Cheers,
