Power Consumption of 3 hdd and 2 hdd in a single pc

peace

Just wanna ask,

Is it a lots of difference in power consumption if we use 3 hdd compared to 2 hdd in a single pc?

I had 1 unsused 30GB pata hdd an it rot in my drawer, i think why not if i can make it as torrent hdd? but i afraid it just a waste of power...

How much a single hdd comsume power actually?

asellus

10-15 watts or so.

Hmmm usually takde masalah cuma tgk ko nye power supply plak.. mampukah menampung extra workload tu...

Aku cadang baik letgo je semua hard disk lama dan ganti dengan 1 je hard disk let say 160 Gb 7200rpm 16mb cache. Laju dan puas hati. Bukan mahal sangat pun. At least 2 -3 tahun lagi confident bertahan.
