14 DAY TRIAL // There was a time when the quality of a power supply unit was determined by the energy output alone, but efficiency regulations and other advancements over the past two decades have changed that.
Sharkoon's newest power supply unit is clear evidence of this, as it has a low output but certain features that even some high-end ones lack.
350W is the wattage. Definitely on the low scale, so there won't be any overpowered PCs made with it.
Still, the energy efficiency is of over 80 Percent, which earned it the 80 Plus Bronze rating. If low-power PC components are used, the PSU could sustain impressive HTPCs and even gaming systems, albeit modest ones.
The modular connector system is another asset that Sharkoon really didn't need to install, but did anyway.
While there are firmly soldered 40+4-pin motherboard connector and motherboard power supply cables (4+4-pin), there are six connection possibilities for modular connectors.
More precisely, the enclosed modular plug cable set a 6-pin PCI Express cable, a PCIe Cable with 6+2 pin connector, two SATA cables (each with a 3 x 15 pin connector), a cable for connecting three optical drives, a Floppy connector and cable with 4x4 pin peripheral device access. All cables are sheathed within fabric.
Basically, the SHA350M Bronze, as the PSU is called, doesn't have the pin array that truly modular PSU have, but it lets buyers select what wires to use anyway.
As for the interior of the PSU, there are two separate 12 Volt rails, a temperature-controlled fan of 120 mm, active power factor correction (active PFC) and protections from overvoltage, short circuit and overcurrent. There is a power switch too.
Sales are already underway, for 35.99 Euro, or $35.99-47. The product page and the video embedded below have all the information prospective buyers might be looking for.
