Thanks for testing! That does seem kinda high. Western Digital has the following figures for 14 TB WD Reds: Read/Write – 6.2 W Idle – 3.0 W Stand

Thanks for testing! That does seem kinda high. Western Digital has the following figures for 14 TB WD Reds: Read/Write – 6.2 W Idle – 3.0 W Standby and sleep - 0.8 W Which strikes me as pretty reasonable. I suppose I'll stick with those since I can rip them out of EasyStores.

Toshiba datasheet says 8.1W under Q1 4k random R/W, I did my testing with streaming writes and queue depth around 10, so my write figure seems reasonable. For idle the datasheet says 4.53W typical, however I admit my disks were idle only for a few minutes when I did my readings as dinner was almost ready, so possible they would go lower after longer idle periods.
