The only thing one should be aware that startup current on contemporary 3.5 SATA disks would exceed 2.5A on 12V buse, so delaying plate startup is rather vital. Or get 500-520 VA PSU to be sure. Or do both just to be on the safe side ;-) -- Sincerely, D.Marck [DM5020, MCK-RIPE, DM3-RIPN] [ FreeBSD committer: marck@FreeBSD.org ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *** Dmitry Morozovsky --- D.Marck --- Wild Woozle --- marck@rinet.ru *** ------------------------------------------------------------------------
