Mushkin Callisto SSD - Anyone know the power consumption rating?

[Agent Bauer]

I am looking into buying an SSD for my 13" MacBook Pro. One of my biggest criteria for a laptop SSD is how much power it consumes. I've noticed that some models use a lot of power and some hardly any. To give you an example, the OCZ Colossus uses 7.1W while active and 4.3W idle whereas the Intel X-25M uses a mere .15W active and .07W idle. That's a huge difference, and since some models don't list their power consumption, I don't want to get stuck with one that uses a lot of power. The Mushkin Callisto appears to have awesome performance and great reviews, but it's one of the models that doesn't state it's power consumption, so I was wondering if anyone knows? Thanks for any help.

That's an interesting thing to worry about as SSDs usually have much lower power consumptions than traditional hard drives. I think the OCZ Colossus has such high power consumptions due to it's dual controller design.

the Intel X-25M is one of the fastest out there, just buy one. i own one and love it.
