Anyone have any current thoughts on a good quality power supply for a home server please?
Budget is somewhere around £100, but flexible for the right unit.
I've currently got either a 420w or a 400w Seasonic of ~10 years vintage in there (It's upside down, and I'm not pulling it just to check which
), which has absolutely nothing wrong with it, other than a lack of available power connectors.
As I'm upgrading the board, and have needed more drive connectors for a while, this seems a good time to upgrade the PSU whilst I'm at it.
Needs:
8 SATA connectors
4 molex minimum (These are used to power 5.25 SATA docks)
8-pin CPU power connector
Preferably modular
Silence would be nice, but not essential
Anything else can be daisy-chained off splitters.
Is there a current preferred unit for servers?
Very drawn back to Seasonic (I've got 4 of these in various boxes, all survived about 10 odd years with no hastle whatsoever), but quality is required.
