[QUOTE="robbo100, post: 670523, member: 91446"] Thanks Jay, Technically even hibernation must use some power as it usually powers the 5V rail to enable WOL from complete power down. The difference between S4 and S3 is probably only that a small additional amount of hardware (maybe even just RAM) is supplied with power. I have read on some websites that where S4 runs at about 1.8W, S3 is only 2.5W which is still tiny really. I have to admit, the main reason why I went down the FreeNAS route was that I had a spare PC and a lot of fairly small hard drives. In order to make the transition from FreeNAS to separate Clent/Server I decided to buy another hard drive such that I could install the server software on a new drive (and not loose any data on any of the FreeNAS discs). Looking on-line I realised that a new 1.5 TB disc was soooooo cheap nowadays, that I could replace my whole FreeNAS setup with by just sticking a new 1.5 TB disc into my existing single seat setup. The cost would probably be recovered in a year or two by the reduced power consumption of a FreeNAS server not running in the loft. All is not lost though, as I will probably use the FreeNAS server as a low powered MP client server by my current single seat system. I saw the new script written by Mr Hipps and I will get it installed when I get the system up and running. My current problem is that my HTPC seems to power-up all the time from S3 without intentional command, but I have (on previous PCs) seen this happen due to UPnP on the router. Hopefully this won't be difficult to fix. Thanks Rob [/QUOTE]
