This PSU was part of an external CDROM drive tower that I was using to power (2) Seagate Cheetah 15K 36GB HDDs. It used its own power plug and everything.

Fortunately I did some more searching and I found the PSUs spec sheet and discovered that it was rated for a MAX of 4A on the 12V (2.5A average) and 10A MAX on the 5V (5.5A average).

So everything worked out. I have the two cheetahs in the box in RAID 1 config and I will be attaching it to the servers hopefully within the next few days.

I can get Pics if you really want them......It was a very interesting mod job.
