Do not expect too much. You will save 0.5 W vs any other modern 4200 rpm hard disk drive. 0.7 W vs very old, 10 GB one. These figures are while reading/writing. Overall impact on the battery life will be entirely negligible. No not mean to say the drive is bad - 1.5 W while working is just great. But other components on the notebook are just too hungry. > 178-percent better power utilization than competitive 4200 > RPM hard drives available on the market. Strictly speaking, this means the drive is a generator in fact :) Regards, Vitaly
