I'll be pedantic on this point, as I've researched it for my own little 
home NAS and checked with a power meter :-)
200W is the *max* power rating. The enclosure itself, with its couple of 
LEDs and fans, will use about nothing. The actual use depends on the 
disks, and for a modern 3.5" disk, is about ~10w (specs for my Seagates 
say around 13, IIRC). My 8-disk enclosure uses about 70-80w, depending 
on the level of use.
So buying a noisy HP or a silent IcyBox will just consume the same 
amount of electricity if they're fitted with the same disks inside.

My 0,02€,
