Want to save even more power? Schedule your NAS to automatically shut down on times you know the NAS will not be in use and power itself back on when needed. For example, shutting down or hibernating at 11:00 pm on weekdays and keeping it off throughout the weekend helps save power. After the shutdown is executed, the complete power saving mode is entered, which greatly saves power.

Taking the newly released Lockerstor Gen2 series as an example. Compared with 24 hour use, changing the scheduler to turn off the NAS for 16 hours a day, saving 67% of its total daily power usage. Assuming €0.60/kWh, keeping the NAS off for an average of 16 hours a day can help save up to €170 per year, although your mileage may vary. In addition to saving power, scheduling your NAS to turn off can help prolong the service life of hard drives, reduce the probability of attacks, reducing the risks of data loss. In addition, even if the NAS is powered on, ADM can intelligently turn off hard drives to save power and longevity. Want to squeeze even more power savings?
