Ah I see: you need >1 NIC.
The Microserver takes around 35 Watts with two hard drives and a small
SSD aboard. The Pi consumption will be tiny, and by the time I need it,
I will probably be able to afford terabyte SSDs, they're down to about
£100 now.
I think 35 Watts is pretty low. My mainboard claims a TDP of 10W, but
that's without any drives, and I've got 2x 3.5" 1T HDDs attached, which
(I imagine) are the lion's share of the draw.
I document my DIY NAS stuff here, for anyone interested
