Okay, my Tiny 1U NAS/server is coming along. Using the front half of a 1U chassis for it's shallow depth as it's going to be mounted in a network rack.
Question: Looking for suggestions to get 1) a single power supply which can feed everything in the case, AND 2) be switched on/off with the Tiny?
For testing purposes I've just been running the drives off of in-line AC power adapters, but these are on all the time unless I unplug them, and each requires it's own outlet.
Of course, then there's the question of how do I switch the power supply? Or do I even need to if I plan to run this 24/7?
If my 1U chassis had a typical PSU I understand you can use a pin or buy an adapter that will force it to turn on, but I don't know that I want or need a several hundred watt power supply for this and still need to find a way to switch it.
