The real question is are your strips 30 LEDS per meter, or 60? If it's 30 per meter, you can seriously downsize your power supply.
For reference, I have an array of strips of 60/m ws28xx, and bought this 300W 5V 60A power supply. I have
987 total LEDS, that at max intensity would consume 295 W and 59 A.The strips of 60/m are approximately 18w per meter.
If you are using the same strips as me, then the maximum supply you would need would be
150W 5V 30AOne other important note... the power supply is not a constant current supply. The current drawn from the supply will vary depending on the intensity and refresh rate of the data.
Basically, the "max" draw should only happen if you are setting each individual to it's max intensity of white, and signaling a refresh of every LED in the array at 800kHz.
Here's the math. You'll see I added some margin to the final values for safety. You may not have the same LED's as me, but the math can be done the same way for whatever your LED chipset is.
50 LED's per segment / 60 LED's per meter = .8333 meters
.8333 meters 8 segments = 6.667 total meters
18W per meter 6.667 meters = 120 Watts per matrix
120 Watts / 5V = 24 Amps @ maximum intensity
Edit, I just noticed your link to your LED's, and they consume
0.3Wper LED. Just so happens that equals120 Watts, so the recommendation above should hold.
