Question about power supply and hard drives....

Featured Replies

I purchased this Seasonic X660W Power Supply for my 15 drive system. The one bad thing is i'm only using Western Digital Black drives. Right now I have 3 2TB Black drives and 6 1TB Black drives. Is this power supply going to be able to handle all this 24/7 running most of the time?

 

Here are the power supply specs, and then I'll list the HD specs below that. I just listed WATTS, as I don't know much about the amps stuff. I know maybe some of our pro builders here can comment perfectly about this.

 

Thanks!

+12V @ 54A

 

Estimate 3A per black drive.  You have 9.  That's 27A total.

 

You are well within the limits.  That PSU could handle a 20+ drive system.

 

Your PSU laughs at your feeble attempts to overload it :D

So that's where the occasional sounds are coming from in my unraid server. :o
