NAS modular PSU

[theProvider]

I can't seem to find any modular that is low enough wattage for a nas.  Must be at least 80 bronze.  Anyone know any?

There's no such thing as "too high" technically. Why do you need it to be a low wattage?

 

Anyways, just get the Seasonic SSR 350W http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-ssr350st if you need a low wattage unit. Low-wattage modular units don't generally exist.

Well, I'm only adding about 2-4 HDD, no more than 6.  I'm not sure but that probably won't use more than 200 watts at any point.  I imagine a high wattage PSU are less efficient when using only <30 watts at idle.

Not modular and only 3 sata power connector.  I don't think I can work with that.  Lowest wattage PSU you know that have at least 4 sata and modular?

Again, why does it have to be "as low wattage as possible?"

 

I mean, the Seasonic G-series or EVGA GS seem like your go-to but 550W "isn't low enough" for your bizarre standards, I'd assume?

I don't think it bizarre to look for a low watt PSU that fits the my criteria.  Anyways, it seems that 550W is the lowest watt that have at least 4 sata and modular according to you.  Thanks for the help though.

Lol, the guy just wants an efficient unit. Is there something you don’t understand about that?

Efficiency isn't really that important. I wrote the guide on it pinned on our PSU/cases subforum and TL;DR, you save pennies going from one efficiency to another.

It's very bizarre. Usually you find a PSU that fits all your criteria (at least semi modular, small, quiet, price point, etc) and then kinda throw wattage out. 
 

Anyways, hope you enjoy your PSU.
