Storage systems consume power not just for the drives themselves, but for the cooling required to manage heat output, the networking infrastructure connecting arrays, and the redundant power supplies keeping everything running. As data volumes continue expanding, understanding the true power footprint of storage becomes critical for infrastructure planning and cost management.
The scale of the problem is significant. According to...
