I've only had the G5 servers until now, and on the G5s IIRC the 360s and 380s had different PSUs. I sat there scratching my head for ages trying to figure out why they even sell the 750s and 1200W units, then I realized that the D元60s are now sharing supplies with the D元80 (which can hold a lot more disk, for one). and it still only hit 420W and said that the 460W PSU was fine. I then built up an absolutely loaded 360 - 4x 15k drives, 18 sticks of 8G reg ECC, dual 6-core xeons at fastest spec they allowed, 2x dual 8G FC cards. Yeah, when I'm configuring what we have, it is showing redundant with 2x460s. Do the 460W supplies crap easy if you fill up a box? I'm not going to use both PCIe slots (yet), but I probably will fill the RAM up with 4G sticks and may have 4 drives on some machines. Looking for field experience from you guys, who I trust. HP's Power Advisor (pretty nice tool if you've never used it) begs to differ - even if I fully load a machine with the fastest 6-core Xeons, 8G RAM sticks in all 18 slots, 4x 15K disks, and 2x PCIe 8GB FC cards (which belch heat if their 2GB cousins are any indication), the Power Advisor only comes out around 420W for the whole machine, which is split evenly across both PSUs if your power sources are stable. My CDW rep implied/suggested that if you have the server 'loaded up' the 460W units would die more frequently due to the heat/load, and that the 750W was 'safer' if you have a lot in the box. They all tend to ship with a 460W PSU (or a pair).

We're starting to replace hardware and I've been getting some of the new G6 and G7 D元60s.
