Thank you guys for your replies (Deci, EffrafaxOfWug, PigLover, NeverDie)
Some of your statement helped to clarify my comprehension of this subject at first sight, but then raised a couple more subsidiary questions. But focusing on the main point that running a pico PSU for this project would not be 100% safe, so I will go for an ATX PSU.
Essentially, the questions are revolving around the boot up time and mode of the HDDs. As the system is installed on a SSD drive, why would the spinning disk eat up all that power at boot time ? Would they consume 84w (14w each * 6 from NeverDie's power consumption sheet) every time the would get off the sleeping mode ? Why this sheet mention 12v consumption and 5v ? When is it 5v and when is it 12 ? These questions are for a better understanding of energy consumption.
So do you have any ATX model to recommend ? Currently looking for a 250-300w gold or platinum PSU. Does it even exist ?
