Working on a small file server and I'm wonder if the the HDPlex 200w combination would be enough?
Mostly spare parts, but so far the list is;
Motherboard; ASUS STRIX Z390-i
CPU; Intel i5-9400
RAM; Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz C15
HDD; 4 x WD Red 8TB 5400 RPM
SSD; Samsung 860 Evo 500GB
ODD; LG BluRay Drive ( WH14NS40 )
and 1 random PCIEx1 to 4xSATA board
Stock CPU cooler, possibly 1 or 2 120mm fans although it'll have plenty of airflow coming from the system below it so I may just not worry about the fans.
I know it can handle the base system more than fine. But I guess my biggest question really comes down to powering all of the sata drives as it only comes with 1 plug with 2 sata connectors. If it can handle this stuff would a sata splitter be the way to go? Seems like a bit much to split that little plug into 6.
Or should I just go with another power supply?
