    mine is ~50W and less than $3 USD a month!

    Cries in German 0.44 USD per kWh …

    Paying 27,23 USD for my 85W NAS (which I need to bring down badly …) per month. Waiting for a new bill on solar power on your balcony early 2024. Lookin into buying 800W panels and a battery. Should help bring down the operational cost tremendeously.

      I know the feeling. 0.44€ in Ireland as well. I use about 500W continuously which is probably around €150/month (we pay lower rates at night for 7 hours). This is a far cry from two years ago when I was running 800-900W at 0.17€/kWh

      Yeah I moved to the 2 NAS approach. I use a thincentre m910q as live system for frequent use and 1TB of SSD storage and my old NAS as Cold storage with 40TB, which is not that frequently used and only turned on to backup active data and retrieving data which I need again
