     This post was brought to you by MyWattmeterJustDiedOnMeAfterTryingTwoPowersupplies

     I tried the right one and another I knew was very good (something something platinum rating and fully passive), at the same load the platinum power supply draw 19W from the socket while the right one draw 24W

     Now for the surprise, the right one is the 250W from a system integrator, needless to say it has no rating at all nor certification at all, but it doesn't mean it should be bad either.

     The left one is a Corsair VS650, wich is supposedly way more efficient under average load (more than 80 watt here), but I wanted to try it under the ridiculous load I have for this NAS, to see if there's maybe some efficiency gain doing so...

     But my wattmeter died :neocat_sad: I know I should pick a multimeter someday but it's more complicated than a fancy powerplug uh...
