Increased battery discharge after CIC SSD upgrade?

Hey all,

Just curious if anybody else has seen this. I did a SSD upgrade on my CIC I drive a few months back. Immediately the next day I got a increased battery discharge warning from the car. Figuring it was probably just unhappy about battery load while I was working on it, I ignored it.

It now comes back every month or so. Never had it before the upgrade, and I replaced my battery as well. Got it again yesterday for the first time since replacing the battery.

I'm suspecting there might be some issue with the cic unit putting what was the HDD to sleep, and it can draw too much power from the SSD while the car is off.

Just curious if anybody else had something similar going on?
