Hi folks !

I am using two Snaps 2200 and currently the PSUs are still good, however i have a fishy feeling.

So to be prepared for the worst, here a question for the hardware gurus on the board hehe

Is it possible to use an alternate Power supply for the snap servers, that has a bit more punch (especially for the more power hungry HDDs out there)

I was thinking on the lines of maybe a old Notebook psu wich are pretty easy to get on Ebay.

Would that be feasable ? Connect the two wires to the original plug and ready to go. At least thats how my simple mind imagines it.

Anyone has any experience with this ?

Regards

Klaus
