Title: Another good power supply option for hubs! 630 W cont, 730 W Peak - $49
Post by: sielbear on November 15, 2012,

Says offer ends soon.  I picked up 2 of these - received today.  630 Watts, 12v single rail.  VERY quiet.  $49, normally $89.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182200

The way I'm splitting my lights, it looks like the most I have at peak is 480 Watts on my heaviest loaded hubs.  This PSU can do 730 Watts for 60 seconds, 630 continuous. 

Better grab them fast if interested!

Also - this PSU has 343 reviews, 4 "eggs".  This isn't one of those bargain bin, 12 review, 2 egg "pieces".

Watch for how many Molex connectors they have. My latest power supply purchase met all the specs, but it only had 2 of the connectors on the left side. The rest were all SATA. I ended up cutting some SATA ends and just using the Yellow and Black wires (+12vdc) to power something else.

He said too few molex. Male side is on the board (and older IDE drives for that matter).

My power supply only had one connector.  I found a seller on Amazon that had the adapter for $1.82 + free SH.  If it doesn't show up, it might be listed on the right side under "More Buying Choices".  I just got them in the mail yesterday and I haven't tried them yet.

This is not a good statement to make in the context of this thread since this thread is about a SPECIFIC power supply.  It implies that THIS referenced power supply does not have the connectors.  But I have two of them from a prior sale and they are fine and in fact ordered two more.  In a different context this is good info to pass along.
