I checked all 3 HDD manufacturer, WD, Seagate and Samsung.
It seems that WD has a much lower power requirement. and seagate only draw power from +12V rail. While the WD and Samsung draw from both +5V and +12V rail My PSU has plently of +5V rail but I doubt +12V has enough, because I think my 6600 overclocked edition(510MHz/1.1GHz) might draw a lot power from +12V rail AthlonXP 2400+ 512MB RAM 1 HDD 1 DVD-ROM 1 PCI card NO floppy DD Acbel 300W with +12 @ 14A |
