All Intel Haswell processors, like sltd's i3-4130T, use very little power at idle when their power saving options are enabled.

With EIST and all the C States enabled, my four core/eight thread Haswell Xeon E3-1276v3 uses about 1.25W of power at idle. That is an 84 W TDP processor.

The i3-4130T is a 35 W TDP processor, which will use even less power at idle, which makes it perfect for a NAS server.

Never measured the real consumption. But i suppose isn't that much. As you can see in the picture the CPU is most of the time idle.

Very nice.
Do you know the real consommation of this server (consommation at sleep time, and also at work time) ?

Last year i built a NAS Server based on the AsRock E3C226D2I. This server has been running for almost a year, 24/7 without any issue. It is used only for backups. Compared with the old QNAP we had it' s lightning speed.

E3C226D2I
Had to update bios to get it work, but then all went on rails. I love these small boards. You can buid a powerful, low power system in a small factor. Used an Intel i3 4130T.
nas
A 4 bay hot plug case. All assembled.
Parts list:
  • 4 bay hot plug case with 200W PS;
  • 8GB DDR3 ECC;
  • Intel i3 4130T;
  • AsRock E3C226D2I;
  • 2x 2TB WD Red;
It runs nas4free 9.1.0.1 from a 8GB USB stick.
