Question by foucachon: How many hard drives can I put on my 500 watt power supply (safely)?
Here’s the context. I’m running an older computer as a server. I have a 350 watt power supply running inside the chassis JUST for the CPU, video card, internal fans, motherboard, etc.
I have an additional power supply DEDICATED to 5 hard drives and 1 fan. It’s running fine right now, but I would like to add some more hard drives – possibly as many as 3-4 more.
Will my 500 watt power supply power up to 8 hard drives (plus one 14mm fan) just fine? Should I get ANOTHER power supply for the additional drives ?
Thanks!
(PS – if you’re wondering how I’m fitting all those drives, they’re actually external on this rack: http://www.amazon.com/Sans-Digital-HDDRACK5-5-Bay-Organizing/dp/B001LF40KE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1339093657&sr=8-1 ). I have Sata cables running from the motherboard, out of the back of the computer, and to this rack).

You should have a wattage number for any given device that you intend
to connect, simply add up the wattage numbers and see what you have.
