I don't know how that Synology DS423+ could consume 50W idle. It seems veeery strange to me. I mean, my E5-2620 V2 on a 10/15 years old Supermicro motherboard with 16GB of RAM, 4 idle SATA 3,5" hard drives and 2 SSD is consuming 55W! Something doesn't sound right to me.

46 watts.. but, yea, I expected lower.

But, suppose when its spinning 4x seagate exos, they like their juice.

It apparently doesn't allow HDD hibernation while containers are running, and doesn't appear to like to use any sleep states.
