January 5, 201412 yr I am using a temporary power supply in my unraid box. Box is a Q6600 running 10 drive array and a cache drive. I had a 400 watt corsair running this but had errors with the latest drive installed. I am not sure if it was because the psu was not powerful enough or if it was on its way out. I would like to hear suggestions for a new power supply. One that has all the required sata power connections or enough molex connectors as I do have converter to sata. I may add another two drives.
January 5, 201412 yr For 12 drives I'd use a high-quality 550w unit like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151136 Whatever you get , be sure it's 80+ certified with Active PFC, and has a single 12v rail. If you prefer Corsair, use the TX series or better. This would be a good choice among their units: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139020
January 5, 201412 yr Author Thank you very much. So my 400w corsair was probably still working alright and just underpowered for the job.
