    Yeah it’s the drives and the controller for all the drives that are making the power usage what it is. I could replace some of the older drives with a newer one and be able to ditch the smaller drives and controllers, but it seems a waste to do that until they die.

    Also, I wouldn’t mind ditching for a Sufficient™ amount of nvme storage, but SSDs aren’t actually getting cheaper and are probably going to do the opposite, so I’ll likely end up doing uh, nothing,

      You can cycle the smaller drives to cold backup, that’s not a waste. You do have backups, which RAID is not, right?
