October 19, 201114 yr I am planning an unraid build and plan to use this Norco 12 bay hot Swap Case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811219040 I was thinkinh something like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817147084 But the 12v rail seems a little lacking.... Any input would be great
October 19, 201114 yr Author This model seems to have a single 12v rail....@35amp. So assuming the case was full of 12 drives.... mostly green, id be looking at 24amp which would leave me 11amp overhead for everything else? Workable? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817147098
October 19, 201114 yr 11A is plenty of overhead. I generally match PSUs to systems with just 2-3A of overhead (they are slightly more efficient that way, but in your case I wouldn't worry about it).
October 19, 201114 yr Author Thanks for that quick reply. Am I correct in thinking that my original PSU is lacking? And am I also correct in that the second PSU does in fact have a single 12v rail at 35Amp? thanks again
