PicoPsu + 4 HDs

[Chaendler]

Hi!

I'm considering buying a picopsu 150-xt to power up my nas/htpc (atom+4 green caviars).

Do you think this little psu will drive enough power to boot it up?

thanks!

I think it will possibly work it depends on what atom board exactly you want to use there are lots of Atom CPUs and motherboards with quite different power consumption.
Also I will like to know exact model of caviar HDD you have in mind, since they also have different power requirement.
But probably 2xHDD will work with any Atom board and a PicoPSU 150-xt 2x2GB should be enough. I do not understand why are 4 HDD needed ?

8 TB of pure porn .

I take it you're gonna be using low-power drives?

If the BIOS and drives support "staggered spinup", then you won't have a power peak.
