absolutely correct, and i've had an se/30 power supply fail. through great effort and searching i was able to find a slightly more powerful power supply to replace it, which i was able to cram into the old ps case with some effort and cutting off one corner of the board. don't try this at home! the se and se/30 power supply is fine for the base unit, but easy to overtax with expansion, particularly with a hard drive that draws more power as all the faster/larger ones do. i was very surprised when i checked the power draw of the old drive and found my newer drive used twice as much power! some will draw even more.
