An Asus RT-N56U needs 30W max. A Linksys EA6900 needs 42W.
Your 2TB spinning disk probably uses 4-5W when it is awake but
not reading/writing.

In my world, a warranty defines the expected lifetime. Do you
have any 5 year warranted APs that aren't campus-grade units?
As it happens, I have APs which have outlived their warranty
period... which means that I expect to have to replace them
at any point, and am happy each month that goes by without a
failure.
