Silverstone SX650-G for ReadyNAS Pro 6
I've been searching around and couldn't find anything regarding this specific line of PSU. I never bought a SeaSonic replacement for my Pro 6 and it seems to be out of stock now. And from what I unde...
Sorry for resurfacing an old thread. But something stood out in this post below.
You mention using the Corsair SF600. According to their site it only has 2 x 4-pin SATA/peripheral connectors (unless I missed something). Meaning each connector would be powering 3 drives. The stock power supply and the SilverStone I posted below has 3 x 4-pin connectors.
Is this a concern at all, or is the overall wattage of the power supply compensating for this?
Yes, the SF600.
Mine came with a modular cableset that included a four pin Molex Power connector that had four connections.
The backplane of the Readynas Pro and Ultra 6 family have three molex connectors and each one powers two drives.
I have had no problems with this power supply and this is how the original SeaSonic powered the unit as well, just with less "headroom"
Remember, the 600 watt supply won't pull 600 watts or even 300 if it doesn't need to. It's great to have the capacity or overhead just in case.
My fully populated Readynas 6 and UltraPlus both filled with 2TB drives use under 150 watts each during use. :)
Hope this helps.
