I find myself in a somewhat odd situation in which there are ethernet cables run to a location I'd like to put a NAS device, but no power outlets. (It's a vault - one cable runs a POE IP camera, and I'd like to run a small NAS device off the other for some incremental fire/physical security.)
The specs for a number of solid-state hard drives show very low power consumption, on the order of a watt or two. It seems plausible then that a NAS could be constructed that had no external power cable, but rather ran off POE.
Does such a SSD-equipped NAS device exist, off the shelf?
Failing that, I suppose I could park a POE splitter next to an ordinary NAS device, and put a low power solid state drive in it. In that case, can anyone suggest a diskless NAS that has overhead power requirements low enough to make this work?
Thank you.
