Okay, I'm stumped. I know these are out there. I just can't find them. Here's the problem:
BIG FRIGGING INDUSTRIAL PSU (22A @ 24V) -> ??????????? -> Lots Of Tasty Hard Drives!
Obviously, the question marks are where the problem resides. In order to properly handle these drives (which do NOT have a DLY jumper) I want to play it safe with about 26A on the 12V and 22A on the 5V. So, as we all can see, I need to build a switched step-down.
More specifically, a 2:1 fused stepdown that'll handle 30A inrush and a configurable 5V output stepdown that'll handle 25A inrush.
(I will now deny any and all charges of "overbuilding." I'm just paranoid.)
I don't suppose anyone's seen something like this out in their catalogs?
