Power while reading (claimed)iMaker's average power during sequential reads, including a figure given at the full read speed. A single average or active figure with no read and write split, such as Corsair's, is stored in both read and write, and the source note says so. A maximum figure, such as Kingston's (MAX) Read, is a peak and is not stored.

The page also lists Idle Power Consumption of 0.92, 0.99, 1.09 and 1.10 W. It is not stored because the maker names no power state and a figure near 1 W is not the low-power idle state that the idle field means2Maker spec sheet (PDF)predatorstorage.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Predator-GM7000-Specifications.pdfRead 14 October 2026

Idle power (claimed)iMaker's idle power in the PS3 state with APST on, or the state the maker calls low-power idle. On a SATA drive, Slumber counts as low-power idle. A plain idle figure with no low-power state, often near 1 W, is active idle and is not stored. Samsung's Idle with DIPM on is a SATA link power state, so it counts as low-power idle.
