Power Consumption
Although the application benchmark results aren’t very convincing, the power consumption numbers are. We measured 0.7W idle power for both drives (idle, but spinning), marking our lowest result so far.
Power consumption at maximum read throughput was 2.5W for the Fujitsu drive and 2.6W for WD. These are average results.
Performance per Watt
High throughput performance paired with low to average power consumption results in above-average efficiency.
