In Reply to: If I copy all my music files on my external drive onto a NAS... posted by Steve Parry on September 13, 2011 at 11:56:23:
Leaving the machine always on is the simplest way to do things. However, this will cause your disk (unless solid state) to wear out sooner, if this is of concern. Perhaps power management of disk spinning will work properly in this application on Macs, it can be problematic with Windows machines, and certainly causes a delay when a music session starts for spun down disks to spin back up.
Figure a PC drawing 50 watts of power on the average as burning through about $50 per year in electric bills, depending on your local rates. (I won't comment on "carbon footprint" except to observe that this is a scam.)
