The 12V/5A power supply seems a little undersized for 4 x 3.5 HDD startup. I suspect that it's fine if the drives are started sequentially but the drives will probably want to pull more than 5A if they're all starting simultaneously. Possibly something to watch out for.

5A should be plenty for normal post-start operation.
