I’m putting together a small server array build plan and I need some advice. I plan to install 8 1TB SSDs into a 1U chassis that comes with a 350-watt redundant power supply. I may also install a fan or two. Should I replace the power supply with a higher wattage? It may not be a problem, but I don’t want to be running the system at or dangerously close to capacity either.
