I am building a RAID array for my home network. i have 24 47GB SCSI drives that im going to run on an HP RAID card. the problem is that these drive require quite a bit of power to spin up. they also require 1.6A/drive for typical usage.
+12V Start-Up (amps): 4.8
+12V Typical (amps): 1.6
+5V Start-Up (amps): 1.0
+5V Typical (amps): .9
Typical (watts seek / read): 24.1
Idle (watts): 22.8
/per drive
i dont care to put 5PC power supplies in the case to run these as i only need the 12v,5v and ground.
I do have the option to add a 20 second delay to 3 drives, and a 40 second delay to 3 more drives, etc in 3 drive sets. if I need to spread the load out over time. But i dont want this to take more than 5 minute to start up and the drives take 10 seconds to spin up.
so i need:
12v@115.2 AMP &
5v@24 AMP
or a bit less if i delay some drives for a time.
if anyone could help me with either building or modifying some power supplies to do this job for me, it would be greatly appreciated.
