[citation][nom]Chainzsaw[/nom]Somewhat laughable.SSD's are already much less power hungry than traditional HDD's.Heck even for laptops, the screens, GPU's and processors use much much more power than SSD drives already.[/citation]
In the grand scheme of things, SSDs (and even HDDs) don't consume that much power, relative to the other components of a mobile device. However, SanDisk doesn't make LCDs or fans or touch-pads or CPUs or GPUs...
They make memory...
They should strive to make them as power efficient as possible...
Besides, some SSDs do get hot, even compared to HDDs. You can feel them under your keyboard on some laptops. Heat = lost energy. Even just making them more energy efficient would be a welcomed improvement.
