Case upgrade & powersupply requirment

[David Obeshaw]

Proliant ML300 G3
2 hard drives

I have need to add a RAID5 array with 4 drives to my 330 so I need a new case since the original case only holds 2 drives and I will be totaling 6 drives. I'm looking at an Antec server case with 550w power supply for the upgrade. My question is: Is the 330 motherboad only compatible with HP power supplies? And if I can use the Antec power supply, will this 550w power supply be enough to power 6 drives?

David ML330 G3 â uses one 300W standard power supply. Just take your chance and test with any lying around Power Supply from PC.

550W will be enough for 6 HDD !

Dear David,

550w is enough !

With Regards,

Siva.

KOV,

When you say the 330 uses a standard power supply, does that mean that its not HP proprietary and is not specially pinned for the 330 motherboard?

Is there anywhere I can find doc info on this?
