Also, there are obviously many other considerations besides just power and cooling when looking into replacing HDDs with SSDs in a server environment, the most important generally being hardware density, performance, lifetime, etc.

I dunno what you mean about voltage, that's not really how to measure power consumption... but according to the specs on the Nitro it consumes almost no power when it is idle:

Nitro
Power
-- Active: 4.8W typical
-- Idle: 0.1W typical]]>Apr 15th 2009 3:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/puresilicon-introduces-worlds-first-1tb-2-5-inch-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/puresilicon-introduces-worlds-first-1tb-2-5-inch-ssd/Jan 10th 2009 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/puresilicon-introduces-worlds-first-1tb-2-5-inch-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/puresilicon-introduces-worlds-first-1tb-2-5-inch-ssd/Jan 10th 2009 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/puresilicon-introduces-worlds-first-1tb-2-5-inch-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/puresilicon-introduces-worlds-first-1tb-2-5-inch-ssd/Jan 10th 2009 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/puresilicon-introduces-worlds-first-1tb-2-5-inch-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/puresilicon-introduces-worlds-first-1tb-2-5-inch-ssd/Jan 10th 2009 2:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/puresilicon-introduces-worlds-first-1tb-2-5-inch-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/puresilicon-introduces-worlds-first-1tb-2-5-inch-ssd/Jan 10th 2009 3:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/puresilicon-introduces-worlds-first-1tb-2-5-inch-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/puresilicon-introduces-worlds-first-1tb-2-5-inch-ssd/Jan 10th 2009 5:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/puresilicon-introduces-worlds-first-1tb-2-5-inch-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/puresilicon-introduces-worlds-first-1tb-2-5-inch-ssd/Mar 2nd 2009 8:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/puresilicon-introduces-worlds-first-1tb-2-5-inch-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/puresilicon-introduces-worlds-first-1tb-2-5-inch-ssd/Hard drives your days are even shorter!]]>Jan 10th 2009 2:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/puresilicon-introduces-worlds-first-1tb-2-5-inch-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/puresilicon-introduces-worlds-first-1tb-2-5-inch-ssd/Jan 10th 2009 2:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/puresilicon-introduces-worlds-first-1tb-2-5-inch-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/puresilicon-introduces-worlds-first-1tb-2-5-inch-ssd/Jan 10th 2009 3:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/puresilicon-introduces-worlds-first-1tb-2-5-inch-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/puresilicon-introduces-worlds-first-1tb-2-5-inch-ssd/

My thinking is that: Doesn't the SSDs use the 1024 (hence 32, 64, 128, 256, 512 GiB, and 1 TiB SSDs) and regular disk-based HDDs use 1000 (like 80, 100, 120, 160, 250 TB, etc.)?

So, technically, the SSDs should still use the entire disk space.]]>Jan 10th 2009 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/puresilicon-introduces-worlds-first-1tb-2-5-inch-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/puresilicon-introduces-worlds-first-1tb-2-5-inch-ssd/all computer size measurements are in base 2

transfer speeds (real world)
reliability
density
"floor" space
power

all of those are way more important than the cost.

i'll take my superfast SAS drives over any SATA drive all day long.
if i can trade out and still have their I/O speeds, with higher density, and more reliability, cost doesn't really matter all that.

take a high density SAN for instance.

it may hold 50 2.5" HDD's.
If i can double the total storage space (or quadruple or more) simply by spending $100K on these SSD drives, it is essentially a push versus purchasing a new second SAN to add to the center.
now take in that i dont have to add power, take up space (which is usually at a premium), and of course set it all up on the network with that needed infrastructure, and I'm money ahead by quite a bit. if it can quadruple the storage pool, i'm money well ahead.
