I’m moving up from a Maxtor DM9 (?) 40GB 7200RPM 2MB to a DM10 250GB 7200RPM 16MB HD. Whew that was a mouthful!

Anyway, question is, do you think the power requirements would be significantly greater for the newer drive? I don’t know how much my Antec TP 330W can handle to be honest.
 
They will actually be lower(!). FDB motors require quite a bit less current. I have an old Maxtor DM Max Plus 9 that requires .96A on +12, while my more modern drives require +.6-.75A on +12. I would not be too concerned.
