Does anybody happen to know what the idle power consumption is on the SATADOM-MV 3ME series? I'm going to set up a small zpool for .system on a separate drive to allow the raidz2 array spin down when not in use. I've been looking into SSDs, but even the Samsungs renowned for being power misers use more power than a laptop HDD. Now I'm looking at the SATA DOMs before breaking down and going with a cheap laptop HDD. I'm hoping the SATA DOM functions more like a thumb drive and doesn't consume any real power except during reads/writes.
