Ideal for the new J1900 platform

Have now 4 office computer with the J1900 motherboards, eg ASRock Q1900B-ITX motherboard socket (micro-ATX, 2x DDR3 memory, 3x USB 2.0, the need in the operation (including a SSD) only 11 -. 17 watts and have only the normal ATX . port (no 4-pin CPU connector required), the Pico-PSU is ideal for this platform: Space-saving installation, with an efficient external 12 Volt power supply (for example LEICKE PSU 60W 12V 5A 5.5 * 2.5 mm for LCD TFT Display Monitor , LED Strips, NAS, ext. hard drives, Pico-PSU drops to 60W) the power consumption again (with me from 13.7 watts in idle mode with a BeQuiet 300 Watt power supply to 10.9 watts in idle).

No noise - you need only pay attention to sufficient convection in the housing should be made of aluminum at best. For it is no ATX power supply no longer fan available. Knowledge you also have that a maximum of two drives can be connected. For the second SATA drive you need an adapter from Molex to SATA. But for the particular application (office computer with an SSD) the little thing is just awesome.

If it is reported here that the power consumption has dropped by 40% compared to an ATX power supply, is likely to be due to bad or defective ATX power supplies. I can not confirm that (so). For a NAS or a server I would not use that thing. Since I prefer a ATX power supply, because such devices should be anyway actively ventilated.
