Wanna rephrase that? :> > actually some of these drives seem to run quite a bit mor ethan 15 watts. > > believe me these drives get HOT as in > > *touch* "OUCH!" I'm not disagreeing. Rather, I'm just noting published specs on drives and trying to infer their thermal characteristics in a manner comparable to other equipment I have in similar enclosures. 'Cuda claims to be about 13W. Some of the Hawks appear to be ~9W. The MC1991 claims to be 30W! (comparing apples and orangatans!)
