Benchmarks: Power Consumption

The N5550 is the only five-bay solution in our line up, and as expected the addition of a fifth drive leads to a slight increase in power consumption. Thecus' operating system does, however, offer a built-in drive power management feature - whereby the drives enter standby after a period of inactivity - and with our Samsung hard disks set to spin down after 30 minutes, we found power draw reduced to 27 Watts.
