CapacityiNominal capacity before formatting, in decimal GB. A published 1 TB is 1000 GB. A published 1024GB stays 1024. The marketed capacity is stored, not a raw or usable figure from the same table, such as OWC's 2048 GB total and 1920 GB usable for a 2.0TB drive.

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.

Max power consumption (claimed)iMaker's peak or maximum power figure. Not the average while reading or writing. Kingston publishes max read and max write power apart. Store the higher one and name both in the source note.

The higher max figure, the write one, is stored. Kingston publishes max read and max write power only, so the read and write fields are empty

Average power in light use (claimed)iMaker's average over a mixed client workload such as MobileMark. Not idle power and not read or write power.

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.

HeatsinkiVersions sold. The base lists every version and each variant row lists its own. A water block or a cooler with a fan counts as a heatsink. A thermal pad or label alone is bare. A heatsink in the box that the buyer fits, as on the XPG MARS 980 BLADE, counts as with heatsink.
