F8 SSD Plus

Evening
Does anyone know how to enable the ASPM in the bios for the NVME's and the 10 Gig network card?
Here in Germany, electricity is very expensive, so we are very keen to save energy.
I have already set C-State to C10 for the CPU.
Only for the NVME's and for the network card I have not found the option.

As you can see on the picture, NVME's PCIE has the ASPM disabled.
ASPM is also disabled on the network card.
Is there a hidden option in Bios to enable it?
Or is it possible to get a bios update for it?
Are there any Terramaster employees here?

Only those with screen names starting with 'TM' (i.e. quite a few).

Indeed, ASPM is disabled by default on our systems, primarily due to considerations of peripheral stability and compatibility. Currently, there is no way to enable it. We will need to wait for a BIOS update before that becomes possible. Our team will subsequently evaluate whether to make any changes in this regard.

Good morning,
It's a real shame that this is deactivated by default.
Grade NAS community in Germany is very ASPM function out.
Yes, it would be very nice if you could ask your department for an update.
Currently the system is running IDEL with 4 NVME's 15 Watt.
And I can imagine that you could get F8 Plus to under 10 watts in the IDEL.

We will notify you once our team has reached a decision, which may take a few days. Lastly, wish you a Happy New Year!
