The power consumption should be noted somewhere on the hard disk case, in the manual (on paper or in PDF downloaded from manufacturer) or the shop where you bought it. Without that, you can calculate an average of 20 watts per hard disk (mechanical or solid, doesn't matter.) But I don't think you should worry about this, as CPU's today consume a lot more than that and PSU's supply a lot more than that - unless you intentionally buy low-power parts.
