Hi,
I've been testing a server with a Z2 array of 6 Seagate NAS 4TB drives but am going up to 8(economy) or 10(x^2 + 2) drives. It has a Supermicro X10SLM-FO with 32GB of RAM.
The Seagate specs says max 12V spinup current is 2A. I haven't been able to get any figures for power consumption of the mobo.
If I assume 20A startup for 10 drives and 10A for mobo+fans, that would total 30A. What percentage of the rated output of the power supply should this 30A be?
The Seasonic X-650 650W 80 Plus Gold is rated for a maximum 12V output of 54A. 30A is 56% of that.
Is that a good percentage of the max rated or should I go higher or lower?
Thanks.
