Default "Electronic Transformer" ... as 12V PSU?

Say I measure 3A peak on boot and 2A when running but idle, would a 5A
model be overkill?


That sounds a sensible working margin to me Tim


Spooky eh ... I *just* got round to sorting the server and putting my
bench PSU on it to monitor the current.

It draws around 2A when idle(ish) [1] and the max I saw was just under
3A so I ordered a 'quality' 4A. ;-)

Cheers, T i m

[1] I have been running it hard since powering it up again, backing up
the two main PC's plus daughters laptop pre upgrading her 240G SSD for
a 480. ;-)
