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 am running it on a duel monitor set up, with 3 hard drives and 3 case fans on a 600 watt power supply, so I would assume, since I only have 100 watts more than you, that it would be fine. However, I'd advise you to double check with power consumption tools, I recommend cooler master's power consumption tool ( http://www.coolermaster.outervision.com/) to save you the hassle, that is the link for it. But I assume it should be fine.

The only issue you may run into is if you want to stay in peak efficiency, which is usually around 50% give or take. Also note that running multiple(3+ probably) hard drives adds up on the wattage used too.

This is kind of what I am using these cables for. I have 3 raw SATA drives mounted in a small drive enclosure with these cables connected to 3 esata connections on my PC. Your drive(s) will need a power source as the SATA cables do not provide operating power for the drives

the card alone at TDP will use close to 250 watts... so unless you have an atom processor and no HDDs... more watts the better ;). Plus most psus are less then efficient, My guess is that 350 watts is more like 300

I used a 650 W PSU, but it depends on your mobo/cpu requirements. I referred to the Puget Systems site for analysis and guidance. You are likely OK - I built in some headroom for expansion later.

The Power rails on mine can't support more than one drive at a time (thing broke within two weeks or so). I wouldn't rely on it for heavy server storage loads.

Yes in most cases. The total power consumption of the card maxes out at 600W. So you can see you have ample of power left. Yet if you have like a 5 HDD and overclocked CPU with optical drives, then you may want to revisit the power budgeting.

I have a micro atx board, but is got a 420 watt power supply, I run 2 hard drives a one dvd drive.

I continuously run two 3GB external hard drives and occasionally plug in a third and never had any indication of a problem. Since this hub has an external power supply I doubt that you will have any problems. It is an exceptionally well-made hub.

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 have the 3 TB version and the drive does not say. However, the power supply for the drive says the maximum output of the power supply is 12 volts DC at 1.5 amps. this means the drive must draw less than 18 watts. The power supply never gets hot so I guess it is drawing less than 10 watts.

Yes, and the speed won't suffer. Even SATA III interface is over twice the speed of most hard drives (not SSD).

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

there are 2 sata connectors on this power supply. They are rather short so if you have a huge case and several drives do not use this power supply. Also this PSU WILL NOT run a high end graphics card, this PSU is meant more for replacing old PSU units in older computers. I would not suggest you use this in a high end gaming or HDPC system!

The wattage depends on what you are currently configured with. You can use Pcpartpicker.com to help determine it. I do recommend this PSU because of it being modular and also supports my two 650ti boosts in SLI. Power cords are long and thin so you can easily manage the cables to be nice and tidy.

I installed this on my grandson's computer with 350watt power supply. Only one hard drive and one dvd/cd drive. As long as you don't have a lot of power consuming additions you should be ok!
