- One of the 7300's major flaws is its power supply. In the world of switching
- power supplies, this one's a real wimp. If possible, upgrade to a 3b1 power
- supply. Alas, the 3b1 power supply is not THAT much more robust, as I have
- had the same problems with large drives which require say, greater than 4amps
- of current drain. I finally opted for an external drive supply, and take some
- of the load off the main supply.
-
- Anyone heard of a power supply retrofit for the 3b1/7300?
