  1. I’m using 3TB drives to start off with, since they were less than $3/TB. Eventually they are going to be larger. Thanks for your help!
  2. I am in the process of parting together an unRAID server and was wondering if this setup would work: PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 650W 80+ Gold 120-GP-0650-X1 [PSU] (https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Modular-Warranty-120-GP-0650-X1/dp/B0797CDK7J/ref=sr_1_7?crid=LM1WIVH0Y7ZI&keywords=650w+gold&qid=1650172382&sprefix=650w+gold%2Caps%2C115&sr=8-7) HBA: DELL Perc H200 2x SFF-8087 to 4 SFF-8482 [SFF cables] (https://www.ebay.com/itm/363102688403?hash=item548a9b5493:g:iBAAAOSwy0VfWmPu) And finally the hard drives: 8x Seagate ST3000NM0023 3TB SAS HHD I have one final question. This is expandable to 12 drives pretty quickly, however, power becomes an issue. I am relatively new to reading PSU power tables, and I am not sure if I can buy SATA splitters to connect more hard drives, or if there is a different way to power the drives. I attached the link to the PSU I am using, and some extra numbers about each hard drive: [Seagate Info Sheet](https://www.seagate.com/www-content/product-content/constellation-fam/constellation-es/constellation-es-3/_shared/docs/constellation-es-3-ds1769-3-1502gb.pdf) Idling Power (W) --> 6.74 Typical Operating, Random Read (W) --> 10.72 All help would be greatly appreciated, thanks
