Power Consumption

We reported drive only power consumption in three scenarios: idle, during sequential writes and during high queue depth 4KB random writes. Power consumption is understandably up compared to the old Barefoot based drives, but it's not an unreasonable increase given the performance benefits we've recorded across the board.

Idle Power - Idle at Desktop

Load Power - 128KB Sequential Write

Load Power - 4KB Random Write, QD=32

    So like, if you could add Gran Turismo 5 load time performance on SSDs you'd make tens of millions of people happy. I assume the PS3 OS doesn't do TRIM yet...or does it? Update coming?
