    PSU load issues with 27+ HDDs

    Thanks for the replies :) @Tsumi: The Tagan has been holding up pretty well for over 8 years now, so I can't complain in that regard. Yeah I thought about using a Y-cable for the ATX connector to attach a 2nd PSU, but that would be overkill imho, as the issue only seems to be the startup load...

    PSU load issues with 27+ HDDs

    Hi evilsofa, thanks for your detailed reply. I initially also suspected the 5V to be the cause, yet it irritated me as when I detached one of my old Samsung HD204UI and replaced it with an HGST 4TB NAS drive (Sammy should be 0,7A on 5V and HGST 0,45A), the system would run into the power...

    PSU load issues with 27+ HDDs

    Howdy, I recently stumbled upon an issue with the PSU in my current fileserver setup (Tagan TG800-U26) when performing a cold boot. It seems to be able to handle up to 27 HDDs just fine (no staggered spinup), but as soon as a 28th is connected before starting up the machine, it will try to...

    HP SAS Expander Owner's Thread

    Thanks for the information odditory. I suppose the expander is future-proof enough then to last a couple of hdd generations.

    HP SAS Expander Owner's Thread

    Hi, did anyone already run one of the 3TB drives on the expander, or maybe know if that would pose an issue at all given the 4KB Blocksize?

    HP SAS Expander Owner's Thread

    Howdy, are there any information available yet if the Expander will also support drives >2 TiB with 512 Byte sectors? On a sidenote, I would be glad if someone running an AOC-SASLP-MV8 with the Expander under Windows could tell me if the SMART information for all attached drives get passed...

    HP SAS Expander Owner's Thread

    Howdy, it would be nice if anyone using the HP Expander with a Supermicro A0C-SASLP-MV8 could tell if all connected HDDs S.M.A.R.T. information get passed through correctly under Windows (XP or 7), meaning if monitoring applications such as HD Tune show the SMART data for each connected drive...

    HDD Amperes requirements

    Thanks for the link, blivit4. So I guess with 0.8A spinup the max HDD-count would be around 25 if one considers that other components also require some Amps on the +5V line. I suppose I will have to go with a controller supporting staggered spinup then to avoid running into such issues.

    HDD Amperes requirements

    Howdy, as I am planning on installing some more HDDs in my server, I would appreciate if any of you could answer me the following questions: 1. As I couldn't find anything regarding the +5V spinup requirements of the Samsung HD154UI drives in terms of the Amperes, how many HDDs could I, on...
