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.
