Review on πŸ’‘ 160W DC-ATX Pico Switch PSU: High-performance Car Auto ITX ATX Power Supply Module by Carl Mayes

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nice concept though. . .

I thought the QNAP NAS would be a great match for this power supply. but I was very wrong. Installation was difficult due to the circuit board at the top of the connector. I doubt many systems have that much headroom. I had to disassemble almost everything to get there. I gave him an 11 amp Xbox 360 power supply for a system that draws 4 amps with 6 amp peaks. However, upon booting, the power went out completely, and one of my 6 terabyte drives failed. So I lost $150 in hardware, 1.5 days of work and about 12TB of data that needs to be replaced, but that would take a lot of effort. I'm giving it 3 stars because the unit is now actually running 2 drives instead of 4 and I'm not exactly sure why the drop in performance caused the HD to crash completely so I can't really blame this unit for everything . I recommend this for very light applications where there is no risk of losing data, such as B. Inexpensive slot machines.

Pros
  • Quick Change
Cons
  • No color required
