- We recently received a shipment of several Micropolis 5.25" 2.4GB SCSI
- disks. The power supply on each individual cabinet (1 disk per) says it's
- spec'd for max. 5A draw at 110V. I find it very hard to believe that the
- disks would really ever pull that much current, given that the 1.6GB 5.25"
- disks are around 1-1.5A peak.
-
- The manual that came with them gives all sorts of other information, but
- not the actual power usage (it does give heat dissipation, which corresponds
- to something less than 1A, but that's average, not spin-up). Does anyone
- have this information?
-
- Many thanks.
