The thing I like most about my setup is that it’s low-noise and power efficient. There’s no noise unless the NAS disks spin up during use. The whole system idles at around 11W, which goes up to ~50W when the NAS is out of hibernation (Which is its common default state).

I don’t feel like I need to upgrade anything anytime soon. The recent NAS upgrade and UPS battery refresh has updated everything to my current needs.
