Yup. Additionally, TB Capacity per Watt is meaningless except when idle or choosing PSU size. The relevant workload for energy efficiency has units of energy,

Yup. Additionally, TB Capacity per Watt is meaningless except when idle or choosing PSU size. The relevant workload for energy efficiency has units of energy, not of power. And units of bits as well. They should be measuring bits/joule or TB/kWh for both r/w conditions, as that’s going to make the biggest difference. And you need to measure it at the system level because it’s more resource intensive to the CPU/chipset to support a higher bandwidth. I don’t think theres a realistic workload where the test ran makes sense (maxing out read writes per drive instead of normalizing for data rate).
