The ANAS350 I'm working on uses just under 3W (about 240mA at 12V) without a HDD installed. Its main disadvantages are that it's hard to set up a development environment for it and it connects the input 12V directly to the drive so it would need a voltage regulator to run from solar power.

One embedded server platform that has recently became popular is the Seagate Dockstar. I don't have one (yet) so I don't know how much current it pulls.
