WD My Book Home Transfer Diagrams
The diagram shows a problem with the throughput test on the Western Digital My Book Home—performance drops to roughly 40 MB/s for reads and writes many times during the full throughput test of h2benchw—and what the results should be. We assume one of the other interfaces conflicts with the eSATA, because 40 MB/s eems like the maximum speed of FireWire 1394a.

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,

@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.
