I don't have a 7000 myself (yet), but I suspect the extra power supply

capable of holding, I'll bet you need the second PS just to get them to
fire up.

Extra power supplies, not extra power supply. The 7000 has three
and needs two. The 5500 has two and needs one.



Needs 2? Hmmm I guess I'll find out. Mine has 2 and takes 3, fires up OK
with just the one but of course I don't have any drives in it at all
yet, so I guess I'll soon find out if it's gonna whinge.
