  1. Ah ok perfect.

    I thought with green are exactly the WD Green meant, and not the category <=5900rpm.

     

    So then it' fine for me and I go for the SS-400FL2 which is the successor from SS-400FL and has same 33A for 12V.

    I could easy buy the SS-460FL2 which has 38A, but of course I want the smallest W as possible to have better efficiency.

  2. Hey Thx,

    I read the first 3 posts. But muy question was how much A the RED's need.

    If it's 1,73A peak as You write then it's less then the calculation for the green's in the first post.

    Then the Sea Sonic SS-400FL2 would be fine.

  3. Hello,

     

    I am planing to build a unraid Server with 12 x 4TB WD RED HDD's.

    How much A should my Power Supply have?

    On the WD page it says the drive need 250mA, but that sound to good, or?

     

    I am planing to buy a Sea Sonic SS-400FL2 which has 33A on 12V, but I am not shure if this is enough?

     

    Thx

  4. Hello,

     

    I am building buy first unraid Server. Starting with 8 HDDs and want to be able to upgrade to 15HDDs.

    I will use ASUS M4A78LT-M with an X2 240E. I read that the Corsair Netzteil 500 CX V2 is good for 15HDDs. https://www.digitec.ch/ProdukteDetails2.aspx?Reiter=Details&Artikel=219296

    But I want to use 3TB and in the future 4TB drives. Will the PSU still be enough, or should I go for a bigger one?

     

    THX

     

    Edit: I think I will go with the 600CX V2 which has 40A, just to be safe.

  5. Hi Rajahal,

     

    First of all, Thx for Your Blog. It helps a lot to find hardware for an unraid Server.

     

    I have seen You had as a Budget Board the ASUS M4A78LT-M. But now its crossed out.

    Is it still good, or did You have some problems with it.

     

    Its the cheapest board I can find here in Switzerland and I want to use it with an ATHLON II X2 240E to have some power for VM Ware Server.

    I am planing to use unraid 5.x with 3TB drives (starting with 8 and later go to 12HDDs).
