Post by thread:[EE]: Power usage

Hi. Just wondered if someone out there who had a newish laptop computer could tell me what the power rating of the internal hard drive is. The old old old one Ive got is 410mA @ 5V and 215mA @ 12V .. I was hoping to find a drive with significantly lower demands. Thanks Jon -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!

hi Jon, My laptop has almost the same. There are HDD running only with 5V/500mA. But you have power saving features which could help a litte. regards, Vasile On Tue, 18 Dec 2001, Jon Baker wrote: {Quote hidden}> Hi. > Just wondered if someone out there who had a newish laptop computer could tell me what the power rating of the internal hard drive is.
