PICOPSU 150XT + 102W brick and 5x 3.5" hdd
- Thread starter duniek
- Start date
yes,yes forgot to mention, I was worried about spinup power, I know hdd takes all max power on start, and working hdds takes 10W max
but, okay, guys
You convinced me to test it
I tested it with power meter (cheap model, but still better than nothing)
and seems works
setup:
asus at3n7a-i (atom 330)
2gb ram single stick
-patriot ssd 32gb
-2,0TB samsugn hd204ui (54rpm)
-1,5TB seagate 7200.11
-1,5TB WD green
-2,0TB samsung hd154ui (54rpm)
-250GB wd blue
picopsu 150xt + 102W power brick
-after power on I noticed peak max 103W (only for 0,5s or even less) - with all 2TB or 1,5TB instead 250GB I think max will be about 108W maybe
-running system (winXP) 52W
-mkv playback 55-58W
Conclusion:
Still dunno which PSU should I use.
1U 150W PSU has almost the dimensions as 110W powerbrick - so I will got case with 220V plug without any bricks lying around, and 1U its basicly cheaper.
PICO have one big adventage - cable free case.
What do you think guys?
