  The Pi hat or OMV ?

 The pi, with directly connected spinning disks. Does the hat have its own extra power supply?

 I've managed to get a P4 I think to run one spinning rust disk without extra power.
Strictly it depends on the disk.
The pi hat for 5 drives has an external 60W PSU

  Used to run an external USB magnetic from
 a Pi4 ... worked just fine. TWO of them,
 well, not so sure.
  The 5-drive hat ... Philosopher says it needs
 at least a 12v/5a supply, esp if you're gonna
 run all magnetics. I have a couple of those
 around, may have to splice on the right plug ...

 This is promising!

 The Pi, hat and drives just kinda stick up there
 by gravity as-is. May still have some sheets
 of ABS plastic ... a little epoxy .....
