I have a bunch of old hard drives, and was wondering the best approach to putting them in some sort of DIY enclosure.

My first thought was to just buy a bunch of the super cheap SATA to USB converters and plug that into a USB hub (speed is a low priority), but that wont be able to power the 3.5 inch drives I have.

I was wondering if I could power the hard drives using a spare PC PSU I have, and then connect the hard drives via some sort of SATA DATA to USB or something.

Does anyone have any ideas or hints, I would appreciate it greatly, as I am not too experienced in this field.
