As the title... how many watt actually?
i was using calculator in this website : http://coolermaster.outervision.com/
I was using Basic mode and confused when trying to add/remove ssd , the wattage only change +/- 1 watt. Is this correct ? Anything wrong with this calculator ?

Thanks

Calculators aren't accurate. SSD's barely use any power.
You'll barely see a change when adding storage.

Not more than ~3W, depending on the SSD model, capacity, and use. http://www.anandtech.com/show/8747/samsung-ssd-850-evo-review/10

3-5W, don't worry about it.

SSD uses lesser power than a HDD because it reuquires 0.2 W when active and .65 mW idle, compared to the typical 10W active a mechanical HDD uses.
