I know a customer who faced a power crisis and one part of the solution was to consolidate storage to a new HDS frame. Those spinning round things consume the same power if they hold 300GB or 72GB. The important thing for the big RAID vendors is to provide a level of performance and QoS with the same capacity on half or even a quarter of the drives. Good point.

Since capacity per device is increasing exponentially and throughput per devide is increasing linearly (if at all) storage vendors and storage customers may have to start purchasing performance rather than capacity. $/IOPS would make a lot of sense.
