Guys
I'm planning an UnRaid NAS build and want to repurpose the PSU currently in my HTPC for the NAS box and getting a quieter picoPSU for the HTPC.
Those online wattage calculators seem to be way conservative. Some questions:
1. Will the Antec EarthWatts Green EA-380D 380W power supply be enough for the NAS?
2. Will a picoPSU be sufficient for the HTPC? How much Watts do you recommend?
Planned UnRaid Build
[CASE] LIAN LI PC-Q25B Mini-ITX
[MOBO] Asus P8H77 LGA 1155 Intel H77 Mini-ITX
[CPU] Intel Pentium G850 65W
[RAM] Kingston HyperX 2x2GB 240-Pin DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) KHX1600C9D3K2/4GX
[STORAGE] 5x2TB Samsung F4 5400
[PSU] Antec Earthwatts 380W
Existing HTPC
[CASE] Silverstone ML03b
[MOBO] Gigabyte 880GMA-UD2H
[CPU] Athlon II X2 240e 2.8GHz 45W
