I'm just wondering now if the drives on the second PSU could be damaged at power down because the PSU attached to the motherboard shuts off first and the drives are left powered for a fraction of a second. One of my drives (I think the DVD drive) makes a noise similar to an old floppy drive that's searching when I turn off the system.
