Sizing PSU

[VladTepes]

Hi my NAS system specs per my signature.

My 1000W PSU died so I need a replacement. That PSU was powering two systems so I doubt I need one with that much output.

I currently have 6 drives but want a PSU sufficient to drive my system but potentially with up to 12 drives.

Recommendations for adequate wattage and good brand/models welcomed. :)

How about this? https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/adata-750w-core-reactor-80-gold-psu-75260043-04710273773285/ it's rated Tier A here: https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

A 450w would have probably been plenty

Above was unavailable so I ended up with a XPG 750W as is was the best VFM at the time.
