Hey everybody, long time no post!
My current project is to build myself a new storage server, since my old one is nearly full. The case I ordered comes with 3 SATA backplanes, each of which can connect to 4 disks. Each backplane has a total of 10 capacitors on it (one for each drive +12v, one for each drive +5v, and one for each voltage at the power connectors). The caps are all sleeveless, ventless cans with blue writing that says:
728
330
16
I figure they're all 330uF @ 16v, and the lack of a vent leads me to think that they're polymer, or at least pretending to be. The lack of identifying marks makes me a bit suspicious. The size is 10mm dia x 11.5mm h, with a 5mm lead spacing.
The case is a NORCO RPC-2212 2U rackmount. I got a 400W Seasonic 80 Plus Gold PSU for it, so I'm not too concerned about the power quality, but I'm curious about these caps.
Here's the backplanes:
And here's a close up of a few of the caps:
Any ideas?
Thanks!
