Can ReadyNAS 316 go to sleep mode automatically?
Yes in the look to upgrade my readynas ultra 4, and was first thinking of switching to asustor since thay state that in standby it only uses 1.45w, my current according to netgear with harddrive spin ...
Whether that is viable depends on what you use if for, and how difficult it is to restart it. It would be a useful mode to have available though.

It seems likely that (once spindown is implemented) the RN316 will be at least as power-efficient as the asustor, and could be somewhat better. Though I am always nervous about counting on future features to show up - if you are not in a hurry, perhaps you should simply wait and see.
