The capacity of the drive doesn't really matter, power cnsumption is determined other ways for hard drives. The spindle speed is the biggest draw. I don't know the numbers for 3.5" hard drives power consumption. I know 2.5" drives (laptop hard drives) cap out drawing around 4W of power for a 7200RPM. A 3.5" drive will draw more than that but I don't know how much more.
