Will the 650 watt PS, handle an additional 3 Sata 2TB drives consindering it's current power consumption?

Considering the PS is actually a 600watt powersupply, item lists for a 650 but you actually get a 600w power supply. That being said, hard drives dont take up to much power but you may want to upgrade the PS anyway for more power adapters, i would get a modular power supply so its easy to add upgrades and additional stuff to your computer as you go.

I dont know my PS is 650W it has the proper plugs for the card , in fact another set of plugs for another card as well. Works fine :)

Last i read it will suppourt 3 tb drives. Dont know if it will take 4 tb drives.

The power supply is not in the way of hard drives. You neef a small form factor video card or onbpard to accomodate 6 drives.

I need to correct my last post about the "Power" portion of this item. It actually DOES NOT provide power to the drives, but rather, the fan on this rack. However, sinc you will need the power supply anyway...it is THAT that you will get your power source from for the drives.

Greetings,Great question!Your power consumption will definitely vary depending on the components you install. A good starting point for a basic configuration (65W TDP CPU, A couple of hard drives) will be around 100W. Make sure you check the power requirements of any large components you decide to add (e.g., video card).Best regards,MITXPC

I'm using 315w at idle and I have 8 hard disks in this computer. At max load I use "only" 530w. So yea, I highly doubt you will ever use the full 900 watts.

I suspect so but I am using a 430 watt PSU. Go to pcpartpicker.com and enter your components such as graphics card, motherboard and hard drive. Enter any component that consumes power. It will then indicate how many watts your system will use.

They recommend a 300w power supply, but I am running it in a HTPC with only a 250w with 2 HDD internals and a 3tb external

power is needed for only 3.5 inch drives. It doesn't need power for SSD SATA which is 2.5 inch.

Yes, that won't be a problem. I have mine hooked up via FW800 powering a Western Digital Black 750GB 2.5" SATA HD that uses considerably more power than an SSD. Hope this helps.

Yes, but it also depends on your total system requirements. The 650Ti Boost is specified to draw about 150W at peak. I am using mine with a bronze-certified 450W Silverstone ST45SF, which was the highest power mini-itx supply I could find at the time. I haven't had any problems, and my system is in the range of 60% - 70% of the PSU's capacity. But I'm running a relatively low power CPU (i5 3350P), a single GPU, 1 HDD, and 1 CD drive. If you have a lot of power-hungry hardware you may want to do the power calculation.

It is likely, however depending on how many drives, ram, etc you are using. 800 watts will make sure you have no issues

The specs will tell you that and all other info. on the MSI web. I am running two and use a 1800 watt PS. I would think 800 watts would work but it depends what other stuff you have in your PC like say 6 hard drives or 1 hard drive? G

Its only going to use what it needs. I got this for a HTPC and a 256 GB SSD, this is sized as just enough to run it. Have eSATA and USB drives attached sometimes but they are powered independently. This is a strange choice for NAS as this is a server with several HDDs usually requiring a much bigger PSU.

I found the wattage was not as important as the amps on the 12V rail. This card needs two 8-pin (or 6+2 pin) connectors, and my older 850 watt PSU ultimately did not have the right amps to support the card. (System kept shutting off... card had blown out the PSU.) 650 watts should be fine as long as your two 6+2 pin connectors off the 12V rail can support at least 20 amps each.
