You'll want to look up the QNAP as well. I've seen reports with quite some variety on the power consumption. Depending on the exact model, it could be somewhere in the range from 25W to 55W... So could be less, could be the same. And have a look at the amount of RAM if you want to run services on it.
Ram is definitely abysmal on Qnap, so it's one reason for hesitation. But I wanted to get some idea how much power saving is possible on dedicated NAS. If it's not much, I would rather keep my PC.
Sure, I have an old PC with an energy efficient mainboard and a PicoPSU and I wouldn't want anything else. I believe it does somewhere around 20W-25W though. And I have lots of RAM, a decent (old) CPU and enough SATA ports.... Well, I would go for a newer PC, they get more energy efficient all the time... But it's a lot of effort to pick the components unless some PC magazine writes something or someone has a blog with recommendations.
