The speed is really noticeable better than the old 250GB model from Hitachi. I can say nothing precise at the moment of power consumption. Somehow, however, the manufacturer has failed a sound and force feedback functionality installed. This panel does not hear and does not feel they are well. But that's no reason for complaint ;-)
