Power Supply Roundup: Part II

Efficiency

The low load in standby is worthy of note here; the Silver Power supply only uses 0.43 watts and thus has the lowest power consumption of the entire test field. Also, with load on standby of 500 mA, the Silver Power power supply is the most efficient, with a power consumption of 3.70 watts. This puts it at the top of the field (even if only by a small margin).

Yet again, however, we find this supply available overseas without much availability in the US.
