The power draw for our SSDs can vary slightly depending upon the specific type of flash media used.

The power draw for Mercury 6G SSDs* are as follows:

Read: ~ 3000mW (3.0W) Maximum draw
Write: ~ 4500mW (4.5W) Maximum draw
Idle: Less than 1000mW (1.0W)

Note that our 3G SSDs may draw slightly less power, but will not exceed the maximums listed above in any case.

* These values were originally published June 2015 and are subject to change.
