Hi

I am looking for an SSD that can be powered by a 3.3V connector. Apparently some slim drives can do that, but can't find anything explicitly stated.

Other important factors include sequential write speed (this drive will be written to almost constantly) and reliability, but power efficiency is most important.

Any ideas?

Power supplies carry a 3.3V rail.

I know but what component uses 3.3v for dedicated power?
