[QUOTE="Local Host, post: 768414"] Power consumption of an SSD goes around 5W, and can go as low as 3W. But in the end it doesn't matter if the PSU is overloaded by the rest of the Hardware. As I said, I've seen this happen before and was caused by the PSU being damaged and not meeting the power requirements (and yes only the storage would turn on/off, the rest of the PC was working "fine"). Windows power saving features, won't cut off a drive power (as this would damage the drive), it hibernates it max. [/QUOTE]
