We've got 3 Dual PIV-Xeon PowerEdge 2850 here and each of them has 6 15K 
disks with redundant power. Voltage is 220/230 here (France) 

We've measured with the electrician and we found an average of 
1.2 A at startup time, then 1 A once fully running, for each server.
(maybe the precision is not very good, since we measured before
the UPS, but that's what we've got after several cold starts)

hoping this helps
