No, they're not comparable. The difference in power draw between active and idle in modern GPUs can be on the order of 10-20W. That's not the case for ATA hardware, and even if it were we don't do anything to idle the chipsets at the moment. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59-chiark.mail.debian.de...@srcf.ucam.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
