Is there a way to mount two 12 port switches in 1 U and still maintain airflow for the fans?
It seems like a terrible waste or space to use an entire U1 for only 12 ports.

Well yes but you still only have one power supply (why?).
I'm going for redundancy here.

Re: Two switches 1 U
Our failure rate on power supplies is EXTREMELY low.
If you don't count the defective CAPs issue we had on the 250W power supplies which did not cause failure but rather they started rebooting then locked up after a few hours if the load was too small (less than 60 watts) our known failure rate is like 0.001% on power supplies.
If your talking about damage from ground current or surges chances are both will get hit anyway.
I use Cisco routers which you can have dual power supplies but I have lost 0 in in 18 years so I never wasted the money on this but I do have spares that I can swap out pretty quickly.
In the "rare" event of a power supply failure I have spare units to swap out and the money I save I buy more stuff.
The idea of having full redundancy is an expensive dragon to chase and the rewards for me anyway in 18+ years would have been very small and there always seems to be some single point of failure anyway that you can't get rid of.
