Re: Without details on parts and platforms and workload,

It's in a Chenbro 2U case with a chenbro SATA backplane and 7 (8 with one drive currently pulled) 250gb WD SD series (5yr warranty "enterprise" SATA) drives. The motherboard is a Tyan S3992GNR. The drives are hung off a Raidcore 8 port controller.

So far, power use is at idle, and while installing windows updates. As I posted earlier, I have a heck of a week, this week, and don't know how much more I'll be able to do in terms of tests.

The power cords are plugged into a power strip, and the power strip is plugged into a WattsUP Pro.
