I still think that after the build completes you could go back to one PS, as soon as mine has completed the backup disk rebuild I will do that.
Depends on how many platters that 320 has if it would need additional power or not. If I remember right from that power supply conversation, we decided 2 and 3 platters drives would work with the normal power supply, but 4 platter drives were too much power draw. I can't remember now for sure. How many platters do those Seagate 400's have? Speaking of which, I need to go look up the WD 320 GB for it's number of platters, thanks for reminding me.
