I am not sure if there are any 2.5" CMR hard drives (server or not) above 4T? This means in terms of performance, it is quite possible for a single 3.5" drive to outperform two 2.5" ones (unless you are only doing sequential reads from two drives in parallel).

ccording to 80+ it will not necessarily be more efficient than a less highly rated 300W model. To summarize: For the use case, one might want to add the CPU's TDP "another time", i.e. 231.8W + 125W = 356W. Then choose either the next fitting PSU size (400W) or go slightly larger for extra safety e.g. 450W, 500W or even 550W would all be sensible choices.
