Hallo!

Over the passt few years I bought a few 10tb external HDD because I only had a laptop. Now that I have a full desktop setup I wanted to implement them in my build. My case can handle 2 3.5inch drives and I'm saving up for 2 20tb drives so I would prefer keeping them outside of my case. The power cables take up a lot of space so my question is if there is any electricaly safe option to power them from my monitor?

HDD: WDBWLG0100HBK-EESN (12V 1.5A) Monitor: Corsair XENEON 27QHD240 OLED

Thank you for your suggestions.
