A retro tech question that should be trivia, but may in fact be a riddle: How many watts does a PlayStation 2 Slim 7700x draw?

The label on my SCPH-77001 is DC 8.5V @ 5.3A = 45W I've never tested it directly however. :)

I can confirm that this number is what the power adapter says, but I can also confirm that the console draws far less than that...

ya, if you see my follow up comment, i think its due to power required for spindle spin-up as well as headroom for accessories. :) same reason why HDDs in servers do staggered spinup.
