You can see some discussion here about various
kinds of flaws that could happen inside an SSD.

And there is variation between products, on idle power.
The column on the left has "Power Consumption" and
"Active Idle Power", and as you'd expect, the Optane
is near the top of the list. You could check and
see if your model happens to be in the list.
