While NAS devices are typically much more efficient than a desktop figurer, the specifications of our test organisation are actually very like to that of the QNAP TS-809 Pro Turbo. Both were running an Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 processor, though our desktop was configured with but 2 HDDs and used xix% less power under load.

The TS-809 Pro Turbo used 35% more power than the Synology DS409+ and double the corporeality consumed by the Promise SmartStor NS4600. These results are not as surprising when you consider the powerful hardware inside QNAP'due south device. It will exist interesting to come across if like margins ensue when it comes to performance.
