August 3, 201213 yr This PS is on sale on Newegg's Shell-Shocker deal today for $60 (Regular price $110). http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817189024 Anyone know if this is a good deal for a 12-15 drive unRAID server as I'm unfamiliar with the Xclio brand. Thanks.
August 4, 201213 yr Specs look good, and more than adequate for 15 green drives. The 12V rail would be marginal for simultaneous spin-up of 15 non-green drives.
August 4, 201213 yr Author I'm new at this (reading specs on Power Supplies), so bear with me. When you say "marginal" I assume you're talking about the 44A on the 12v rail as compaired to say 54A on the Corsair TX650?

When you say "marginal" I assume you're talking about the 44A on the 12v rail as compaired to say 54A on the Corsair TX650? Correct. Our 'rule of thumb' which may be a little generous, is that the maximum spin-up current of a green drive is 2A, and a non-green drive is 3A. Then you have to allow that there will be other devices drawing some power from the +12V rail.
