I am looking to build a low power Unraid server using a J3455 or J4105 board and 4-6 8TB WD Red drives. The board will support 4 drives or I can add two more through a PCIe SATA card.
I am struggling to find a power supply for a build like this due to finding it to be right between the gap of Pico PSUs and lower end 300-450W standard power supplies.
Will the largest Pico PSU handle a build like this? I reached out to Mini-Box but their response was vague and did not give me much confidence.
What standard type of power supply would handle a build like this? I would prefer something in the Gold range for efficiency reasons but am coming up short.
Finally, what would you expect the max wattage for a system like this to be? Motherboard, 4-6 drives, SATA card, and 2-3 case fans? The online calculators add up to 190-200 watts but that seems excessively high to me.
