Power Consumption

Intel's SSD DC S3700 can draw power on both 12V or 5V rails. Most 2.5" SATA drives pull from the 5V rail, however the S3700 seems to prefer the 12V if both are attached. The S3700 was the only drive I tested that drew any current on the 12V rail (and none on 5V), everything else was exclusively 5V. If your server supports it, Intel claims the S3700 can pull on both rails simultaneously.
