Hi Bastrup,
Thank you for sharing your measurements.
We compared your results with our internal validation data for the TS-262A, and the values are within the expected range for this model.
Your measurements:
- Idle with HDDs spinning: ~20W
- Idle with HDDs in standby: ~14W
These results are very close to our internal verification data. Actual power consumption may vary slightly depending on HDD model, installed memory, enabled services, ambient conditions, and the measurement equipment used.
Based on the data provided, your TS-262A appears to be operating normally and we do not see any indication of abnormal power consumption. Internal validation results show approximately 21W during idle operation and around 15W when HDDs are in standby mode.
We also appreciate your feedback regarding power consumption information. We are planning to add power consumption figures to the hardware specification page on our website in a future update, so customers can more easily compare expected power usage before purchase.
Thank you for helping us verify the behavior and improve our product documentation.
