An internal Zip will use about the same as a floppy drive. An Iomega external Zip uses a 5 Volt, 1 Amp supply. So 5 watts max.A USB zip is rated at 5V and 0.5 amp. V x A = W so, that would eat 2.5 Watts.That is during disk access and while ejecting and setting the disk. you could expect it to use almost nothing while idle.
If you go to chickensys dot com they have a zip drive kit that you can install for $99. I have not been able to find a regular floppy drive tho.

Store it in a flash drive or on your computer. DON'T store it in a DVD/CD, floppy disk, or zip disk; because you are constantly changing info. in Access.
