I'm in the market for a PSU for a file server. The file server's specs are as follows:
MB - Asus P8H61-M
CPU - Intel Pentium G620 (1155)
RAM - 4GB DD3 1333
1x PCI-E x4 sata controller (4 ports)
2x PCI-E x1 sata controller (2 ports each)
12x SATA hard drives
I've been advised that 12 hard drives spinning up at once will overload a single-rail PSU. So I guess I'm looking for a multi-rail PSU. I thought about the Antec True Power series, but they feature a high number of connectors on the permanent cable and I'm actually looking for something fully modular or as close as possible to it - the less cables in use the better.
In terms of functionality, I need something in the 500-550w range. For connectors, I require the 24-pin mainboard connector and the 4-pin cpu connector. I then need 6x molex connectors - ideally on their own cables, not mixed in with other connectors like the Silverstone Strider series does. I won't be using any PCI-E or SATA power connectors, so they should be on their own cables that I can just box away.
Can anyone recommend something like that?
