I have just bought a power meter to measure my server power consumption and i would want to share with you.
Pogo plug Pro power consumption.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')dle: 4.1W
cpu 100% 1 core: 5.2W (Copying a file over samba)
CPU 100% 2 cores: 5.3W (2 threads with tar)
Power consumption (PRO)

Power consumption (PRO)

1TB USB e-SATA external hard drive 7200 rpm
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')dle:6.6W
"Moving files": 8W
Netbook asus 1005Px (Atom N450, 1GB ram, 250GB HD)
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'B')oot: 14W
Idle (5%CPU usage, screen off, wifi on): 7W
Idle (5%CPU usage, screen on, wifi on): 9W
"On fire" (100% CPU usage, screen on, wifi on, Hard drive copying files): 14.7W
As i see, my Pogoplug Pro + Hard drive is more power hungry than a Netbook.
A great solution would be using a 2.5" HD or a SSD (Quite expensive) or USB flash drive, but forget about having a swap partition on flash.
