How bad are the vibrations?

USB 3 is more than enough if you’re thinking of using regular spinning disks. I have a ThinkCentre mini with 3x USB 3 ports. I’ve connected 4 external disks to it, 2 of them directly and 2 via a USB 3 hub. It purrs happily without a fault. Just make sure the cables aren’t easy to disconnect accidentally while it’s working.

Not bad at all. These are 4 external WD drives. The actual disks are mounted on big ass rubber mounts to the cases. They’re quieter than bare disks in a PC case.

seems like a fire hazard no?

It’s fireproof up to 200°C.
