RE: Why should one care how much power the HDD requires?

- 2.5 inch hdd allows to use less powerful PSU which to make qualitative easier, i.e. with smaller level of ripple, which is cheaper and which releases less heat.
- More powerful electric motor in 3.5 inch hdd emits stronger RF noise and an electrical noise into ground bus.
