Really, I think that you'll have to measure such things or ask the manufacturer. The only things the FCC is interested in are noise/interference emissions. The manufacturer might have some internal documentation as to the spin up power, but that will depend on the mass of the disc as well. I dunno how much this will affect it, but I'm sure it does. Their specs might not be completely accurate either, I think you'll actually have to measure this. I dunno though, they might have some internal documentation on the subject, but whether they decide to give you that info is another question!

Hehe, no. One of the PSU Forum regulars @ hardforum.com has requested me for some info, for a FAQ he is making. I'm a mod over at the Opticals forum there, so they asked me for some info.. I'm asking you guys

@Deer Slayer : Damn! Okay, no worries, I'll have to work something out..
