Looks like Tom's Hardware fessed up and apologized for their slip-up in that
recent controversial power test, which found SSDs
consuming more juice than their spinning-platter counterparts (
or, well, not exactly). We're giving 'em a pass, not just because we've always had a fond place in our heart for Tom's, but because they did another comprehensive SSD test (this time under more consistent conditions) which basically confirms that many newer SSDs are, in fact, power savers in most usage scenarios. Not all drives and scenarios, but many. Tom's also namechecks
OCZ's Core SATA II SSD (a
Samsung in disguise) as the clear winner by a longshot, having "unmatched" power efficiency. Sold.
[Thanks, Chuckles and SNP]
