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

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 ...

Gotta whip together SOME kind of holding frame.
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 .....

Go to your friendly neighbourhood 3d printer! =) Wouldn't that work?
Umm ... that'd be a lot more expensive than just
cutting/gluing some raw plastic sheets :-)
There exists some thin 'expanded aluminum' sheets
that are normally used on the bottom half of
screen doors - silver or pretty gold. They are
easy to cut and bend tight. Look around in
a Lowes store. I've used that for make-do
enclosures before.

I think of a Pi as "economy" and thus keep the
apps/add-ons kinda cheap. Otherwise I'd use some
kind of desktop.
Alas those cheap BeeLink/BMax units only have
one SATA port so you can add an SSD drive in
the bottom of the box. I think Orinco sells
a "SATA hub" ... kinda like a USB hub ... that
can turn one into many. Dunno if it only works
with Winders drivers however .......
