average power consumption is between 10 and 20 watts, depending on the number and model of disks.

Sorry, but that isn't saying much. Average power consumption doing what? Or is that range meant to be the minimum and maximum draw, ie. idle power draw 10W, loaded power draw 20W? I don't see why the device should draw 10W with idle disks, much less with spun-down disks.
