Startup watts for the laptop drive I used in my new router was 4.5 watts.
You pay more for a laptop drive, but the power usage is certainly low

All I know is that I have never, ever had quite the sensation of burying
my nose in sheets and towels dried in a clothes drier as I had with
clothes right off the clothes line.
The lack of that fresh, clean, natural scent is what clothes driers cost

Transformer-based "wall-wart" efficiency: Typically 23 - 28 %
Switching "wall-wart" efficiency: Typically 80 - 90%
For a device that will be on 24/7, a switching supply pays for itself in

I agree with Ben's warning, and perhaps I was not clear enough in my

If enough people espouse and extol this way of thinking, I'm pretty
