Intel 730 power consumption

The HDD may have been made in 2012, but you made this post about the HDD purchase in 2013. Learn to read posts first before making ignorant comments.

Most members of this board are enthusiasts, meaning we tackle the latest and greatest relative to valuable performance (not wasting money chasing 5% performance gains). Raving about a platter drive in 2013 is not what is hot when you can get a blazing fast 240GB SSD for $150 and enjoy an order...
