just curious how you measure the consumption because for SSD is different consumption for Read and for Write I/O (and the write is frequently 7x more than average from white papers). Don’t be driven by white papers. You can be surprised, that there isn’t such heavy difference. But you need connect measure device what can measure objective dynamic values and calculate them include Power factor to VA, instead to W.
Finally, it’s proven by science, that SSD dynamic power consumption is worse than HDD.
“Contrasting a common presumption that, SSDs can offer high performance with less power and energy consumption and at low operating temperature, our empirical evaluations reveal that dynamic power consumptions of a many-resource SSD is, on average, 5x and 4x worse than a conventional SSD and HDD, respectively.

I like science and facts.
Be sure, this is about dynamic consumption measurement, not about linear, because linear doesn’t exist in real operation.
