Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows what the power limit of SATA_POW1 is on the Q1900TM-ITX motherboard please?

I'd like to use it in a NAS enclosure with a PCIe SATA card and I was wondering if the SATA power has enough juice for four 3.5" hard drives. Two are WD Red which run at 9w each, I'm not sure about the other two off the top of my head.

I'm thinking that I'll likely need to have another power supply for the backplane of the NAS box but thought it worth asking.

Thanks,
Keegan
