If you want to find who makes quality PSUs, rip apart a decent branded server, eg HP, IBM etc, and see what they are using - it won't be those overhyped stuff that the likes of quietpc and overclockers sell

Lol, they use units designed and built by Sanken......and they are so far down my list of good power supply designers/manufacturers that it frightens even me!

Be Quiet psu's are the darling at the moment!

Corsair's PSU's are modular Seasonic for a quarter less, and the zahlmann stuff is just pocket theft!

I remember taking apart an old hp workstation years ago and it had a seasonic unit inside it.

who would you rate?

No manufacturer, its to random

Every power supply design is different from model to model and supplier to supplier.

Many of the names mentioned sub-contract thier desgn and build to 3rd parties and simply re-badge the designs (Sanken are about the biggest real design and manufacturer of the lot).

So in reality its pot luck, all you can hope is that high temp caps have been used!

As for fan noise, thats down to who is chosen but, few use really good fans (a good fan would be 30+quid each in large volumes!)....

so getting back to the original point of the thread, would you install on a striped raid 0 or just go for one drive to install the OS and apps?

MY psu is man enough for the job currently, and hasn't let me down yet (touch wood).

Or would it be just as easy to install all on a 10,000rpm raptor drive?
