I need some suggestion regarding the psu i currently had, in this case i had some older components i planning to use for unRAID:

# SAPPHIRE Pure White Fusion E350 AMD E-350 APU (1.6GHz, Dual-Core)
# 2GB RAM
# 4xHDD (2-6TB each)

and i had some unused new CoolerMaster Elite Power 350w

The question is, do i need to upgrade the psu to another high quality one? or can i just use the psu i had? did the CM Elite Power 350w had a stable power to supply the HDD's (to keep better life/health of the HDD's)? and if i need to upgrade the psu, what brand i should use and how much wattage, and please kindly tell me the reason.

Oh yeah i don't planning to use the unRAID on 24/7.


Any kind of suggestion would be much appreciated, and Thank you b4.
