Will there be a difference in power consumption of AFF (AFF 700) full capacity utilized (85%) vs Partially utilized (40%) ?

Have you looked at hwu.netapp.com? It has all the specs for power/btu etc

i am referring to the actual consumption value's not the specifics. We have NetApp CI for monitoring, where in we are comparing the power usage between NetApp and Pure storage with the raw capacity. However, i wanted to make sure that this comparison is fair enough.

Are we talking storage capacity or performance capacity (so basically utilization)?

#

Your power consumption should go up if the node CPU utilization goes up.

#

It shouldn't really depend if your storage is 10% full or 80% full.

Storage capacity i mean

Do you mean. How many disks are physically in the system or how much is used on said disks?

nope, my question was based on the capacity utilization of the array whether the power utilization varies. For Ex: AFF 700 raw capacity of 100TB , but if it utilized only 50% of the capacity . will there be any power consumption between fully utilized and partially utilized array. I hope it's clear now
