Hello everyone!
Could someone please recommend me a power supply for my server?:) I'm very new to the server equipment and currently have no PSU. I don't have any Power separator either. I'd like it to be 80+ platinum. I'm currently searching for one PSU only with 24pin ATX motherboard connector or standard with power separator and possibility to attach second one in the future.

Thanks in advance!:)

You have two choices:

- PSU with attached cables. The only option is basically the PWS-341P-1H when you want Platinum efficiency. There are a couple of cons though: You might not be able to fix it to the chassis and it might require some fiddling with cables that are too short.

- PSU with Goldfinger connector + PDB (like PDB-PT825-8824). Cables might still be too short though.
Pros: You can later use redundant PSUs, you can quickly exchange PSUs
Cons: Lower efficiency, because the smallest PSU is basically the PWS-501P-1R (Platinum)
