Is it true that the new DS723+ consumes around 4x more power (65W) than the previous DS720+ (16W)?
(Since a NAS often runs 7x24 hours in continuous operation, this should make a difference over the years).

And the new DS723+ has only one USB port (in the front) and no second one in the back like the DS720+?

Compared to the DS923+, which has the same hardware except for the two additional HD slots, it has already been optimised somewhat in terms of consumption. But it still consumes more than older Intel Celeron-based disk stations.

Yes, the DS723+ only has one USB at the front. The space at the back was sacrificed in favour of the PCIe slot for the 10GB LAN card, for example.
