Does the larger the hard disk capacity, the more electricity it consumes?
As 500GB, 1TB, 2TB get bigger, do you eat twice as much electricity?

There is no difference in hard capacity and power consumption.
It varies depending on the speed of rotation.
The sooner you run out of electricity.
5400 rpm is about 5 to 6 W and 7200 rpm is about 10 to 11 W.
It also depends on the size of the hard disk.
It depends on whether it's an SSD or not.
It's roughly as below.
3.5" Hard Disk: Approximately 10W
2.5-inch hard disk: approximately 5W
SSD: Approximately 2.5W
It works the same way as above, but the hard disk does not actually work continuously, but it is in a standby state if it is not used.
Atmospheric conditions, it goes down to one-third.
A hard disk in a computer is a component that doesn't use much electricity, so you don't have to worry about the electricity bill.
Rather, CPU or graphics cards eat a lot.
