Review conclusionRecommendedWith reservations

24 V 2 A power supply (desktop): It handled 2 A without overheating; the main drawback is elevated high-frequency ripple.

12 V 2 A power supply: Ripple is acceptable for a budget unit, but it overheats at 2 A; sustained use is better limited to 1.5 A.
