I am looking to get a second hand PC to convert into a DIY NAS.
I am concerned about power draw as electricity prices in my area have been going up a lot in recent times
I found a great deal on a HP Z440 workstation but I am unsure how to understand its power draw. I have heard old servers draw lots of power but unsure where this old but not too old workstation might lay.
My other option is to buy a more standard home PC.
How can I learn more about power usage before I buy something?
Sorry if I am being too general, I am not sure where to start
Thank you
