Dear STH community,
I hope this is the correct forum for my problem.
Recently I switched to Supermicro X10SDV-7TP4F and added a few hard drives.
As a PSU, I got a bequiet straight power 680W.
My Problem: when attaching more then 14 spinning + 2 solid drives, the system becomes instable, generating tons of io errors and/or other zfs errors.
I know that the primary 12V rail of the psu, can't support all drives. So i distributed the drives over 2 12V rails. For the 5V, there is just 1 source rated @28A. Is it possible that 16 drives draw too much power on the 5V?
Besides that the MB manual states:
Can you please recommend a PSU for my server? No redudancy needed, with support for ~25 spinning drives and the standard desktop form factor.
Thank you.

I do not understand the difference. I assume if I attach the power via the 8 pin connector, the mainboard generates its other voltages itself?It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets ATX
power supply Specification 2.02 or above. It must also be SSI compliant. (For more
information, please refer to the web site at Server System Infrastructure (SSI) Forum). Additionally, in
areas where noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to install a line
filter to shield the computer from noise. It is recommended that you also install a
power surge protector to help avoid problems caused by power surges.
The X10SDV Flex ATX Series motherboard alternatively supports
an 8-pin 12V DC input power supply for embedded applications. The 12V
DC input is limited to 36A by design. It provides up to 432W power input
to the motherboard. Please keep onboard power use within the power
limits specified above. Over-current DC power use may cause damage
to the motherboard!
