Re: [cobalt-users] Strange Qube 2 Power Problems

 What is interesting is the online manual says: 
Power consumption: 25 watts
While the printed manual says : Maximum power consumption: 25 W
and on my AC Adapter says : 45 W cont
and the Qube3 Manual says : Maximum power consumption 45 watts.
I wonder what the Qube3 with 2 drives has for a power source.
A guy from Arcoide said that the 45 Watt continous I have is probably
not strong enough for the power-up of 2 big drives; he thinks 80-90 watts
is good. Though it would be great to find out what the Qube3 Professional
Edition runs with 2 20.4 gig drives; who knows, mabye comes with the
same AC adapter that I have?

Ok, though are these just 45 and 55 Watt adapters, and is that what I
have right now? The only consistent description of all the Qubes' power
requirements are that the input rating is 100-240V, 50/60 Hz.
If my adapter says 45 W cont, does that also mean 45 Watts maximum consumption?
