Need Power Supply Suggestions!

[Gomenasai]

Hello World!

 

I need some quick suggestions on buying a new power supply. I am using a Corsair AX850 (The 80+ Gold Version) on my server with 11 3.5" drives (+ 3 2.5" SSDs) but for whatever reason, it looks like after idling and some of the drive spin down, they aren't spinning back up when I need them. I have some of these drives in a Windows Server Storage Pool and so when two lose connection, the virtual disks unmount and I can get them back until I restart. I switched the drives that seem to always get disconnected off the SATA power cable from the PSU and used a molex to SATA adapter and I haven't had these drives lose connection (yet). I am not sure if it is the power supply but I'd like to get something new anyway since I had to pull this PSU out of my main workstation to put into this computer so I can smack this AX850 back into my main computer (it has individually sleeved cables and its a waste on this server.)

 

Anywho, the computer I want to get a new PSU for has the following components:

Motherboard: Asrock  EP2C602-4L/D16 Dual Socket LGA 2011 Mother Board

CPU:  2 x Intel Xeon E5-2660

RAM: 4 x 4 GB DDR3 (Temporary. I plan to upgrade to 128GB later in the year. )

Drives:

• 4 x HGST 2 TB Drives
• 4 x WD RE 2 TB Drives
• 1 x WD RE 1 TB Drive
• 1 x Seagate Barracuda 3 TB
• 1 x WD 1.5 TB Caviar Black

I may stick some GPUs (nothing terribly expensive) into this server at one point for video encoding or other stuff, so I would like some room to grow. So connector requirements is 2 x 8 pin CPU Connectors and 2 x 6 pin PCI-e Connectors.

 

Smart people, through me thy suggestions! I am looking to spend less then $100 (still in college and the semester is about to begin T~T), but feel free to suggest anything over. I might consider it if with good reasoning.

@Energycore Might be able to help you. he seems to know lots about PSUs

The EVGA 750 G2 is $100 over at newegg. Can't go wrong with some nice Leadex.

Well I can't help with the drive not waking up problem, sorry

 

But the best value for a PSU with 2 EPS12V cables is the EVGA Supernova B2 750W. It's semi modular so if you want modular and don't mind going all out, the Seasonic Prime Titanium 650W is basically the best PSU ever.

Anything from EVGA's G2, G3, GS and T2 are quality PSUs.

Along with anything made by Seasonic, especially the Titanium.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions! I have a job interview tomorrow so if it looks like I impressed them, then that shall be my justification to spending the extra amounts of money on the Seasonic Titanium PSU... otherwise I'll take the EVGA.
