Asus Flashstor 12 power usage
Posted on Jan. 19, 2025 by Ben Dickson.
I have the Asus Flashstor 12 (the first gen model, not Gen2)
With 4x NVME drives installed, with TrueNAS Scale installed:
- Uses about 25-35 watts briefly during start up
- Uses about 22 watts at idle
- Uses about 27 watts receiving data at slow gigabit speeds (about 55MB/s, using about 12% CPU)
From here with 12 drive it uses about 23-26w at idle and 34-42w while transferring data, which sounds in line with these numbers.
