My understanding is that SSDs are in the sub-watt territory when idle. So ironically the act of deleting the email instead of keeping the drive in steady-state

My understanding is that SSDs are in the sub-watt territory when idle. So ironically the act of deleting the email instead of keeping the drive in steady-state will likely use significantly more power.
- dylan604 1y agoHow often do you think a device is idle in a data center? My guess is not very often if ever.
- jlokier 1y agoOften, in a system with a large number of drives where actively-used data and cold data are automatically migrated to active and mostly-idle drives respectively.
- mrob 1y agoConsumer SSDs idle at very low power, but SSDs intended for data centers generally idle at several watts.
