I have a Samsung 1TB 850 EVO and two WD Blues. Looking at their specs, the SSD has an average consumption of 2.7W while in active use, and only 0.05W when idle. The mechanical 3.5" drives, however, have an average consumption of 4.1W while in active use, and when idling, they still use 3W of power. This is to say, the SSD uses an average of 66% of the power of mechanical drives in my system when reading/writing, but only ~1.67% when idling. Considering the fact that SSDs are generally much faster even in sequential operations, but a whole lot faster when it comes to random operations, they get to idle a lot, lot more than HDDs, and that means that for the same workload, the SSD's power-consumption would amount to a fraction of the HDD.

Thanks brother, it says recommended is 419w so i will keep this guy, i just bought it last week so it has 3 years of warranty and don't have enough money to get new psu anyway
