I am after reliable SOHO server build. I went with ECC RAM, quality NAS-grade harddrive and now I am looking at the PSU.
I cannot seem to find any good redundant PSUs that would fit into the ATX form-factor. Are there any good choices?
Alternatively, what would be a good strategy on replacing a PSU - at which time? What would be the tell-tale signs of it going off? With HDDs in redundant arrays, ECC memory and properly burnt-in motherboard + CPU, it seems to be me that normal PSU is the weak link here. I've found a few discussions here but nothing that would address this specific question:
Is it worth modding/getting redundant PSU or is there an existing, accepted strategy on how often to replace PSU in a single-configuration setup?
I've also seen manufacturers go with a single-PSU configurations on their smaller machines but I am still not convinced that it's something I want to do in a production environment.
