Correct: Toshiba drive is somewhat noisy and generates a fair amount of heat: as such it is also a good battery drainer. Power consumption cannot be generalized for CF cards, it depends on the individual model/size/manufacturer. But at least, solid-state CF cards will be completely quiet: no moving parts.
