Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising:
measuring a first amount of power drawn by a non-volatile memory drive when in an idle state and set at a first temperature value;
measuring a second amount of power drawn by the non-volatile memory drive when in the idle state and set at a second temperature value, the second temperature value being different than the first temperature value;
performing a comparison of the first amount of power to a first nominal power value;
performing a comparison of the second amount of power to a second nominal power value;
based on the comparison of the first amount of power to the first nominal power value, determining a first static power offset value for the non-volatile memory drive;
based on the comparison of the second amount of power to the second nominal power value, determining a second static power offset value for the non-volatile memory drive;
storing the first and the second static power offset values as parameter values on the non-volatile memory drive; and
configuring the non-volatile memory drive to:
offset a received power supply level based on either the first static power offset value or the second static power offset value;
select from the first and the second static power offset values; and
operate the non-volatile memory drive using the offset received power supply level offset by the selected static power offset value.
