as it turns out you cant use modern, year 2018 and more recent power supplies for a multiple 3.5 drives which are old drives>old 1TB drives require 1.5 amps from +5 volt and also unspecified amount of 3.3 volts>the +12 volt rail doesnt matter, all power supplies produce enough of +12>I got 12x 1TB drives from year 2008 and can't use many of themheres the dilemma:-year 2012 intel mobo-32GB DDR3-4x 1TB HDDs + RAID controller-power supply is 750 watt from year 2018 it gives 100watts to 3.3volt and 5 volt combined and is able to produce 650 watts of power through 12 voltsI can run 4x HDD fine but anything more and it fails, RAID controller will start to say "drive fialed" and the drives sound like they cant get their motors startedRAID controller is flawless, I tried to use 2-4 drives through all of its connectors (it supports 16 drives) and not a single one of them are faulty, the fault lies entirely on power supply who can support 4 drives simultaneously and not one drive morewhere can I even begin to look for power supplies that give like 175 watts into 3.3volt and 5 volt combined?I dont think they make them anymoreON THE OTHER HAND, if I use HDDs from year 2016 onwards, those more recent drives stopped using 3.3 volt alltogether and use minimal amount of 5 volts and lots of 12 voltsbut I cant afford new drives, power supply would be cheaper
Is there a question in here somewhere? Did you really kill a thread just to say that your computer gear from 2016 doesn't work as intended like on modern gear? Just buy a new modern computer and new gear.
>>108797554show me where to buy a power supply with more +5 voltage power
>>108797538>I got 12x 1TB drives from year 2008Ticking timebomb.
>>108797538If you truly don't want to upgrade, look into dual PSU setups. But like the previous poster said, using HDDs from 2008 is living on the edge. Better have backups.There's also the option of using USB 3.0 enclosures, each with their own power supply. It would degrade speed a little, but works nonetheless.
>>108797538I don't care I have stacks of Imoega and EMC Lenovo NASs. An actual 2 meter tall pile of them.
>>108797554It's really fucking stupid to use large capacity drives in NAS raid boxes due to rebuild time. OP is not very smart. neiher is here an compulsion o use HHDs (but I do) ssds work fine too. The best balance is something like 2TBs but even that will give long rebuilds. Most of you will never use more than 10tb unless you are dumb enough to store video on expensive media instead of just buying the 20 cent physical media for it..
>>108797602Nah he'll be fine. if a drive has a lasted a decade it will last 40+ years.
>>108797538kys for this retarded ass weeaboo meme. tr/a/nnies aren't/pol/chads your memes suck ass.
>>108797747I thought it was a chink meme.
>>108797636You don't even need a proper ATX power supply. You can just connect a buck converter to the 12V rail and splice its output into the 5V rail. It may give a noisy output, but hard drives aren't too sensitive to that anyway.
>>108798220this will definitely shorten drive lifespans especially when control logics and chipsets use the +5V
>>108797538
>>108798269I'm gonna need a source on that. Modern hard drives all have a lot of bulk capacitance and local decoupling so they can run from a noisy power supply.
>>108797538Must be a (you) problem, I had no problem connecting dozens of old drives to my corsair sf450, four at a time, and have them all running at max load. I'm talking samsung spinpoint 1tb from 2008, toshiba 2tb from 2013, WD Reds from 2015, and even some Seagate SMR drives. Also some 640gb samsungs, a bunch of 2.5" drives ranging from 120gb to 500gb, and some 20/40/80gb IDE drives. I copied all the data from them to 3x 20TB drives, then sold the old ones. That was before the HDD price boom.
>>108799002forgot pic
>>108797674I also find drives from the 00s much more reliable than ones from the 10s. The older ones just keep going while the newer ones just die. Probably part of their business model. Like fridges and freezers.
>>108797538>and also unspecified amount of 3.3 voltsOP is tech illiterate. Thread discarded.
>>108799101yes, drives made before 2010 are more reliable, sad about their power requirements which cannot be met with modern PSUok, you can run TWO drives from 2008 just fine but 4 is pushing it and 6 is definitely a no-nomeanvile, a 600W Corsair with 125W 5volt rail might just be able to run 8x Seagates from year 2016 but not older models
I got a dozen 2tb Toshiba drives from 2012 hooked to a no name sff power supply lmao, you're tripping.
>>108799304its a power supply from the year 2008
>>108799353Probably, I don't really know is just a crappy 300W PSU with no 80+ cert and it came on a slim case.
