Didn't write it was bad.

The link I agreed with wrote it's not one I would use.

Also I have to total up the Watts, then the Amperes per rail then double that, then select the PSU. It's a bit of work but PCs I've built run for years with really minor issues like worn out fans but little else.

And for now, no Seagates.
