I wouldn't be too sure about that. The Seagate 500GB drives draw a bit too much power on startup for the Snap 4000 power supply. Three will work, with four it comes on for a couple of seconds and then shuts itself down.
It might work with the Hitachis since they seem to have lower startup power requirements, but they use a bit more when running than the Seagates. I don't have any Hitachis to test this with.
Right now I'm trying to replace the power supply with a 250W unit, but it's going to require some rewiring to hook it to the motherboard, and I've been tied up at work for the last few weeks, so haven't gotten very far.
