i was wondering if it was possible to run a multi-HD file server (5-8 drives) on a quality 300 or 350 watt power supply. This would oviously be assuming 2 things
A. I will be running a low-power processor
B. the RAID arrays wont be terribly too large (maybe a 4 drive raid 5, if not the only 2 drive stripes or mirrors)
seeing as there wont be load on all the drives at once, will 300-350 watts hold up well if at most 2 or 4 drives are accessed at once?
