Hello everyone,
I just built up my FreeNAS box a bit ago for plex and storing misc docs, music and videos. Everything is working great, thanks to all of you on this forum.
using 10 @ wd red x 3tb (z2 setup) and here is the rest of the story.....

note: the case I had laying around for several years so I decided to use it and outfit t with a couple of extra fans and the 3.5" adapters in order to fit the 10 hard drives. beleive it or not, it works out pretty good. here are my idle temps.
and
I have to change one more fan for the da2 and da3 drives with one more of the cougar fans.
my point is.......the "kill-a-watt" shows a max at start-up of 184 watts, and at idle 92 watts (also taking into accout a cyberpower cp1500c....which shows about 6.3 watts just by itself)
why is it , after foraging through this forum I find that everyone is of the opinion that I should have at least at 650 to 750 watt psu ??????
But when I search the net......some think a 350 watt psu is more than enough.
what am I missing here ?
btw: never have had a hickup yet in the system...albeit only been in use a couple of weeks.
thanks
