NAS NEEDS POWER!

[neemers]

Hi All!
I got a question for you all. I'm looking to build a FreeNAS server and am going to have 6, 500-750GB SATA hard drives running in it. I was wondering what wattage power supply I should get. I was thinking of getting this one, it has great efficiency......

Please if you have any recommendations let me know.

Thank you all!

Looks like it comes out to 410W so 34 AMPes.

I will be running an Asus A7V600-X MOBO with an AMD Athlon XP 2500+. A PCI SATA card with probably 6 attached SATA drives. Probably a 1GB NIC as well. 2 X 256MB DDR memory. PCI video.

If my company will budge the project I will post some benchmarks using iozone.
