What distro and DE are you using?
As far as I can see you could try to attach 1 ssd to SATA0 (it can dangle in the air) and 2 hard drives to SATA1 and SATA2 (They are capped to 300MB/s and should be attached to the case with screws)
There should be space somewhere to put the drives as I can see in the specification. You will probably need to remove the CD drive.
There is also a question if power supply has enough power sockets to attach to the disks. You could try to find eSATA -> SATA adapter to attach something to the last port.
You probably won’t find the bigger case as motherboard isn’t standard size.
I would probably try to upgrade to standard motherboard size but I would also calculate the cost of consumed electricity in a year vs cost of more efficient hardware.
2 internal hdds
As I understand the PC case is some sort of small form factor and the motherboard has more SATA ports to plug in disks.
If that’s the case then try to find old pc case in the dumpster or from a neighbour. It should have more space for disks.
Some PCs 15 years ago had incompatible layouts so be a little cautious but gratis is a fair price.

Maybe write it as an GNOME or KDE plugin?
Found the spreadsheet https://goo.gl/z8nt3A
And the source: https://www.hardwareluxx.de/community/threads/die-sparsamsten-systeme-30w-idle.1007101/
Still you can calculate how much you will save with 2w power reduction with selling this one and buying different NAS.
You can reduce the disk idle time after access to 5-15 min for better power saving.
Maybe you are looking at the wrong thing. CPU + motherboard controllers idle state matters more than spun down hdds
I saw a spreadsheet somewhere of a lot of cpu + motherboard combinations with idle power consumption for ultra low energy NAS optimisation.
You would at least know where to go.
On wayland they use libinput
Link to docs:
https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/device-configuration-via-udev.html#static-device-configuration-via-udev
You would need to find an gui app that communicates directly with libinput
So far I was affected on termux. There is already package update.

Kali Linux to be an elite hax00r
Then Linux mint and now Ubuntu.
I think that’s just hardware limitation. My USB2.0 sticks get 10MB/s and USB 3.0 get around 20MB/s
For faster stuff get a SSD with USB adapter
Still AI misalignment is a real issue. I just don’t remember which model was studied and had been found out that it was missaligned.
It was a five minute read. (At least it felt like one)
