The blogosphere is buzzing with the results of Symantec’s Green IT Report that surveyed data centers around the world.  Online Storage Optimization blogged on it.  George Crump had something to say too.

IT is caring more, not less, about energy efficiency.  This is not a fad.

For storage, that means an accelerated move to 2.5″ drives like Seagate’s Savvio family that use as much as 70% less power than their larger brethren. 

It also means more use of power management within drives like Seagate’s PowerChoice technology to reduce power consumption further.

What do you think – do these numbers ring true?
