What type power supply do people use for a Small NAS BOX

If it's a NAS chassis (like the Netgear ones), they have integrated power supplies, you just insert the hard disks. Job done.

For a NAS like LTT in their compact NAS video, a 500W would probably do the job.

Depends how big.

If you can fit an ATX PSU, an EVGA 550GS/G2 are great for their price range (with the GS being a little smaller).

I don't know much about SFX PSUs, but the Seasonic ones look alright. I'd have a look at them.

I have decided to use the one he had in his vid.
