Hello all.

I'm mulling over the possibility of moving to the Qube2 as my
"production" web server, but I'd need to put in a big drive if I was
going to do this. Maybe 750 gigs or so, plus a smaller drive to boot
off of, maybe a laptop drive.

I know others have done it, the Terraqube project, etc.

My question is, what are the long term prospects of the stock power
supply with a higher draw on it? This would be with 1 laptop drive
(and I could go out of my way to find a low draw one) plus whatever
these new 750 gig ATA drives draw.

Anyone?

Thanks.

Andy
