I am starting this thread to hear users experience on the power saving topic on these small plugs. Aslo your bigger NAS such as the NAS 310/320/325/326...
For example, the Dockstar has a power adapter that outputs 12V DC, 1.5A (?). In a typical usage scenario, you would plug in a USB 2.0/3.0 rootfs.
- What are actual operating Voltage and Amps that you know the Dockstar is drawing?
- Have you used cpufrequtils to slow your CPU to a lower CPU frequency? i.e.using "ondemand" or "powersave" setting. And what is the power drawing during that time?

analyzing CPU 0:
driver: kirkwood-cpufreq
CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0
CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0
maximum transition latency: 5.0 us.
hardware limits: 400 MHz - 1.20 GHz
available frequency steps: 1.20 GHz, 400 MHz
available cpufreq governors: powersave, userspace, conservative, ondemand, performance
current policy: frequency should be within 400 MHz and 1.20 GHz.
The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use
within this range.
current CPU frequency is 400 MHz (asserted by call to hardware).
