So if I have a 500MHz PC and one harddrive is a MicroDrive but I want to use the MicroDrive to run a Xubuntu server running torrentflux, but the storage capacity isn't exactly high.
So I'm thinking I could like cache the storage on the MicroDrive, so only like when its downloaded it will push it over to the 3.5" HDD.

Is this possible?
and would the 3.5" still be consuming power while its idle?

Yes, it should be consuming power. But if you are looking at lower power consumption, why not just use a 2.5" hdd instead?

Because either way it will be consuming a lot of power still, I wont it like complete minimum of power.
I think next idea is a SATA hotswoppable PCI card if their is such a thing yet.

The 2.5" drives use a lot less power than the 3.5" thats why they can be USB powered.

They still consume power Grin.

Found this though
http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/2-5-hard-drive-charts/idle-power-consumption,681.html?p=1870%2C1904%2C1864%2C1869%2C1858%2C1906%2C1911%2C1880%2C1874%2C1888%2C1882%2C1861%2C1877%2C1895%2C1902%2C1897%2C1903%2C1848

Dunno how to work out costs of running them though Sad.

me neither, but it wouldnt be much, you would be using a lot more power for everything else on the machine unless you have something like a KuroBox

How about those CF cards? Get one of those IDE to CF convertors and use the CF as your HDD. I think they come in 8GBs now.

Max of a CF card is 4GB microdrive are 8gb, which I've said I'm using for the OS.
But 8GB isn't much space IMHO

Well, if you want low power it's going to be low capacity as well.
The 2.5" HDD will be the best solution for you. Trade off between size and power consumption.

LOL!!

I went with a 2.5" 160GB HDD, I was thinking of a 500gb 3.5" but I was sticking to my guns of a low power consumption server.
