Great price - works well so far

I bought this power supply to run a file and media server (UnRaid) with 18 hdd, 7 ssd, 32gb and an i7-9700 which is always on. Due to the "always on" nature of this app, I need to conserve power, hence the "gold" power adapter. Since it is a custom case, I need an SFX form factor (ATX is not suitable). I didn't want to break the bank either. This power supply was the perfect solution. I used it successfully thanks to the parity check running 10 disks (4TB each) for 12 hours. No problems to consider. It runs warmer than ATX but I guess that's to be expected. Although it doesn't bother me that much. I can't comment on the noise level as it's in a silent rack and when it's open I can't hear it because of the fans.

Pros
