Key word, is idle.
Synology... and HDD hibernation don't really go together very well. If you have containers running, it won't let the HDDs hibernate at all. And- I have a minio instance running.

That, is a pretty good deal. Better start picking up some MD1200s!
For me, that would have been over 15 years ago. Even my NAS from 2014 was pushing 16T or so.
I built a homemade one. 2.4kwh of capacity.
Should be good for a few decades easily.
Wouldn't call it cheap. But, it will be around for 15 or 20 years.

As long as you don't break it, things will be just fine!
But, the second you break it, it's going to be a long night for you, with lots of pain.
It's very effective.
Just try not to mess up your xorg.conf.
That typically ends in pain.
My method was easy.
Completely removed and eradicated windows, and forced myself to adapt and learn Linux.
Used it for gaming and everything. No regrets.
Its only a problem when you get the electric bill! (Or the wife finds your ebay receipts)
None.... because I don't see any of them. Ever.
If I were subscribed to them, I might see them.
But, I do not see them. EVER.
I use twitter. So, let me piss on mastadon. I use reddit. So, let me piss on lemmy. /s.
Seriously, stop pissing on alternatives just because they don't work for you. More choice, is generally a good thing (with the exception of streaming services....)
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.
