PI and HDD's and EON

@tc-dal welcome to the forum.

One question I do have is is the EON limited to 60 watts by the power supply or is it the components on the input board that the PI attaches to that is limited to 60 watts. Why can’t we get a internal 80 watt 12v power supply from amazon and hook it up to the EON?

According to this previous post by @joseph.zapanta from Argon, the outer two disk positions can only support the power for 2.5" drives.

18TB or 10TB max per hard drive?

We have tested the 18TB Seagate and it worked just fine (After the Kickstarter Campaign was posted). So we indicated it in the packaging specs. Yes, different HDDs require different power and the 2 middle HDD Bays are the only slots that can handle a 3.5 Inch HDD. The two slots on the sides can only power 2.5 Inch. We don’t expect a lot of users though to use the 18TB at the moment as it is still crazy expensive.
