$50 NAS PSU

Go to solution Solved by Hackzzila,

Get this EVGA PSU. IT is overkill for your current setup but will give you growing room: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438012. Great price, great quality. EVGA is not famous for PSU's, but this one is rock solid.

I thought that had 4 sata...

Thanks, I could get the 600B it is under $50 too!

So my NAS needs a new PSU, because it has a 350w (WITH NO SATA POWER just adapters,I had to power the drives from my main PC) and I only have $50 to spend NOT INCLUDING REBATES, I could have dual PSUs, since all in my price range have 4 SATA Power connectors D: I also plan to add more drives later.

 

Specs:

Dell p7-1074 + 3 extra drives (4 total)

TBH, a PSU is the backbone of computer. Reliability is key, especially for a NAS (I'm assuming that it dying causes inconvenience), so a PSU is the one component I really hate to cheap out on.

 

That being said. I have no idea if you can buy a quality PSU in the US for $50. In NZ, you hella can't.

Cheap and decent.  I own it and it has more than enough SATA power.

For his uses he needs a psu with better capacitors

EVGA is not famous for PSU's, but this one is rock solid. Also, if you REALLY need more SATA power leads, you still have molex connectors to use a adapters for.

Then get that one. You get more power for less money. After all, you want to be able to expand this NAS a lot don't you?

With 6 SATA connectors, 80+ Gold for power saving and OEM is Super Flower.
