Many regular readers this will never have seen an ‘ADATA' branded power supply before, however like many companies in this sector, the underlying design is created elsewhere. The HM Series 650W power supply we are looking at today is actually based around a Channel Well Design – a company who have made power supplies for partners in the past such as Thermaltake, Antec and Corsair.
Channel Well Technology (CWT) started to manufacture power supplies in 1993 and have been used as an OEM service over the years. The HM Series 650W power supply that we are looking at today, is targeted as a quality, value for money unit costing only £75 inc vat, but offering 80 Plus Bronze certification with a semi modular implementation.

Channel well have made some decent designs over the years. This looks to be very good value. id buy it, especially as its modular.
I like the paintwork. My last power supply had a black finish which stratched even putting it in ! more companies need to spend more time with this.
Excellent, there is a severe shortage of good modular power supplies in this price range. I thought everyone was doing away with it. I hate all the cabling as I never have more than one video card and a single hard drive.
Looks like a bit of a bargain considering the stuff you get with it. The corsair TX are good too, but I noticed they arent modular which is a bit of a downside for me.
Seems they thought this one out, nice to see such a budget supply coming with a pouch for storage too. wasnt expecting that as you normally only see that on expensive ones.
I think it just proves that most of these manufacturers are using the same companies, such as channel well, seasonic etc. I think enermax are one of the few to make their own from the ground up
were can you buy them for £75?
