Question MacBook Pro Silicon M1/2/3 - - - benchmarks of power consumption for different SSD capacities ?

[Badfish12]

Is anyone aware of any benchmarks/stats on the specific wattage for the different SSD configurations on silicon MBPs (M1/2/3)?

Would like to know the power usage numbers comparing 1TB -> 2TB -> 4TB -> 8TB

Would also be great to know if there are any stats on battery life per configuration.

 

[helpstar]

the difference should be about 2Watt max, while writing randomly

Would these difference have any noticeable impact on battery life of a machine? Lets says comparing a 2tb with 8tb?

 

[helpstar]

in real life no. If you always write big files, it could be noticeable by minutes

It's hard to isolate power consumption to just the storage on the MacBook Pros because it's integrated in the system. But if we presume that Apple uses something similar to what Samsung does, then we can look at say the power consumption for the 990 Pro. The power consumption figures between capacities likely isn't going to be too significant from each other.

Anyway, the impact to battery life is minimal unless you're constantly doing something with the drive. Considering that Apple claims 18 hours of video playback out of a MacBook Pro and that video isn't entirely in RAM, that should indicate how little impact to battery life the SSD has.
