Title:
STORAGE APPARATUS AND POWER CONSUMPTION ESTIMATION METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/108031
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Proposed are a storage apparatus and a power consumption estimation method capable of easily and accurately estimating the power consumption of a physical drive without having to use a wattmeter. Operational information concerning a seek amount and a data transfer amount in the relevant hard disk drive which are internally recorded and retained by the respective hard disk drives is collected from each of the hard disk drives, and power consumption of each of the hard disk drives is estimated based on the acquired operational information of each of the hard disk drives.
