I don't have the equipment to measure power draw from the drive itself, but after using it for a bit I can at least provide "gut feelings" regarding how it affects battery life, heat etc.
It's $50 on Amazon. Oddly, it's less expensive than the SX6000 Lite.
Almost all of these drives will be faster than the 1.5GB/s of the PBP, but that limit also reduces heat and power consumption.
HAHAHAHAHA so it is. WELP. Guess I overpaid. Oh well. That's what I deserve for not shopping around.
In any case, I agree. Since it will be throttled, the heat and power consumption should be less of an issue as well. And, if I eventually decide I want to use the drive for something else...I still have a bangin' good drive.
