Home Computer Audio Asylum

Music servers and other computer based digital audio technologies.

Why should one care how much power the HDD requires?

I can easily understand isolating the HDD from the system/MB but once it is powered independently what difference could it possibly make whether it uses ten watts or one?

If one was to power with a battery I could understand this concern. Using AC makes it very hard to understand the motivation.
