What's a good power option for my NAS hard drives?
I'm building a NAS out of a Lenovo ThinkCentre, and don't have the usual power supply that comes with a proper PC. I've picked up a Flex power supply for testing, but I'm hoping to have something smaller once I model and print my enclosure.
I'm planning to have six hard drives in total, so I'll need a reliable way to power all six of them. I have a six-way SATA power splitter coming in the mail. However, I'm not the most familiar with power delivery and hard drive requirements. Would I be able to use one of those 12v-to-SATA power bricks and attach them with my splitter? If that's actually viable, what should I be looking for when picking a quality power brick?
