      Hi, I can't seem to find anything on power consumption of the 8200 other than that it has a 60W power supply. Any experience or figures by chance on the actual consumption to be expected at idle or full load?

      pfSense+ 24.03 on Netgate SG-2100 (replaced SG-2440)
      pfSense 2.6 on Super Micro 5018D-FN4T (retired)

        If you go to https://www.pfsense.org/products/ and scroll down to the Netgate 8200 it says 20w idle...

          Yeah, it's unlikely you would ever see 60W, or really very close to it.

          The actual idle consumption varies with how many NICs you have linked. On an uncalibrated 'kill-a-Watt' style plug top meter I see 15-16W with one 1G and 1 2.5G NICs linked.
