I do know that my MVIII uses a hack of a lot
less power booting off a
remote disk than it did spinning up 3 MFM drives. I can only assume
that the RAxx use even more juice.
Dunno about anything as new as an RA9x, but the RA81 draws 30A surge
current (which is why they have that daisy-chain power sequencer port),
and 8A steady-state. That's a big honkin' motor in there, plus several
square feet of controllers.
