Interesting, in relation to my setup and problems. I have a 300W PSU
feeding 2/3 (one standby/spun down). It works with harddisk cooling fans
installed (wow... noise!!!) and stops working with the fans removed.
I guess harddisks (and IC's in general) start using more power when
they're hotter)?!
New PSU is underway, including more power (har, har) and better fans.
I'll report when all is installed.
