Ali, thank you for your kind words.

You may be interested to note that peak power draw on the 12V supply during the R/W cycle of this popular drive is only slightly less than that encountered during power-up (1.96A vs 2.04A). The peak on the 5V line is actually higher (.78A vs .72A).

reply to: "For your additional info, the seek operations are not the most power consuming ones for disk drives, the spin-up is."
