hmmz, final power consumption chart states that it's "sorted by stand by", yet on the legend it says that the black bars are stand by?
so the order goes:
5.5
7
2
3.6
pff!
if anything it's sorted by idle, the yellows bars...
at least get your charts right..!
cheers,
bill

@googzaymunanos,
I noticed that error too in the chart, but I also noticed the following in the review for the WD drive:
If the WD is the only drive which consumes 0.4W when the system is shutdown, then what is the 5.5W power doing in the chart for the Seagate drive?
Also, the seagate drive doesn't have a switch, so there shouldn't be a value on the chart for this as it could be misleading.
