Gouie Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I think I've narrowed my selection down to two units, one is gold rated and modular, the other is platinum rated but not modular. 650W should be more than enough as I don't anticipate more than 8 drives for some time. Could really use some input here. Thanks! http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX33771 http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX38802 Link to comment
Helmonder Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I would go for the modular single rail. Enough power and the modularity is better for airflow=cooling=noise .. Link to comment
dikkiedirk Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Yes, definitely the modular one. Less cables make for a tidier built and better airflow. Besides those 3% difference in power efficiency will only make Greenpeace happy I think. Those Corsairs are great PSUs BTW. Link to comment
Gouie Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 Perfect, I appreciate the input; modular it is. Link to comment
Johnm Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I would go with the Corsair unit. I wanted to point out for others that might be looking at PSU options.... That that antec model is actually a 4 rail unit (not a 2 as listed) and is a poor choice for a storage server. Link to comment
