SNIA Emerald™ Power Efficiency Measurement Specification for Data Center Storage Devices v1.0
This SNIA architecture specification describes a standardized method to assess the power efficiency of enterprise storage devices (HDD and SSD) used in data center applications for both active and idle states of operation. A taxonomy is defined that classifies enterprise storage devices in terms of operational profiles and supported features.
