Not worth buying

This power supply didn't work right out of the box. The Power LED was off and there was no output. Due to time constraints, I decided to open up the PSU to see if I could see anything obvious. Bad solder joints were visible on the circuit board. Soldering is missing in some places. After I fixed this new PSU it finally worked. However, that wasn't enough for me. I thought buying a 12 amp power supply to run 4 half amp devices was overkill, but 2 amps dropped the output voltage to almost 4 volts. So I don't use this PSU and buy another one that actually works with no issues. Before you ask, I adjusted the potentiometer to get a little more power output, but was still only able to get 4.15 volts.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
