    If you use 2.5" drives you only need a 5V power supply, which makes improvising one much easier.

      I’m personally still very much interested in HDDs with their better cost/GB, though it is true they have a shrinking lead over SSDs. I hope to move to SSDs completely for large storage space.

        HDDs are also available in 2.5", but yeah the real cost/GB advantage you can currently only get with large capacity 3.5" HDDs.
