PSU for a home media server with 8 sata connectors

[Erfurt]

Hey guys

So a PSU for a home media server with 8 sata connectors. It seems like I'm only able to find really expensive PSU's. But I would like to find a 'cheap' one, you know not a crazy overkill PSU, but one that has the stuff I need and want. My server isn't running anything crazy, so I really only need to power my 6 HDD's and 2 SSD's. I would like if the PSU has a like a fanless mode, when it's not being used, it doesn't make a lot a unnecessary noise, and I would like if it was modular or semi-modular, with like a 24 and a 8 pin connector pre-attached. The last to things aren't a required, but are nice if they are included. The modular/semi-modular is the thing I would like the most.

Anyone have some recommendations?

What wattage, there are four to choose from

What wattage, there are four to choose from

430w that should do it for most home servers. 

 

what are you running other then 8 drives GPU? CPU?

 

with 8 drives alone your looking at 140w

Well, are you using molex connectors to power 4 drives? Or am I missing something here?
