I have searched everywhere and posted over at the netgear forms, i'm looking for the typical power draw of either of the 2x models from the Netgear M4500 series switches.

So at this point I'm hoping someone who actually has one of these switches deployed can chime in with even a rough estimate of typical power usage. Netgear only provides the maximum possible power draw (ie max power draw w all ports in use = ~394 watts, maximum ambient noise at 77 Fahrenheit = ~ 67 decibels)

thanks

to update my own post (Since this information can't be found on the Internet in my experience); i got the m4500 switch in and:
from my own testing it's around 127 watts idle and 50 to 55 decibel sound level (pretty quiet for this level of switch IMO!)
NB: this is with both PSUs connected to mains, and NO OPTICS connected at all. so totally idle.

edit; i added some more detail on this sw over in replies at this thread:
