Love the design and idea, looks like wouldn't be too hard to modify for 3.5" desktop drives instead of external just have to integrate external HDD power supply just a barrel jack and brick. Couple design ideas, if you move the fan 90 degrees to the drives and design spacers between the drive (TPU for vibration) allowing air flow across them. Better drive life if you are hitting it hard, but for home use you likely wont be reading and writing to it that often anyway.
@Preston_377882 thanks, I will definitely consider that for V2. Currently as I'm not uploading much, the drives don't get to hot, but it's definitely a good idea to have a fan for them

How hard is it to add a second drive down the line?
@roboduid sorry for taking a while to reply, it's pretty easy. Just take off the top and the pi holder prices and slide it in
