The scary part (at least to me) about drive power consumption really occurs during the initial power-on inrush. When I kept up with the numbers for these things in a former life working for a disk manufacturer, I was always astounded at how much current the drives pulled during their power-on sequence. After startup, current begins to taper off rapidly.
