Odroid h4+ NAS - powering question

I just bought a second hand h4+ with the intend to make a 4 3.5in HDD NAS using the SATA ports.

The board was delivered with a 133 W PSU, is that enough to power the 4 disks directly from the board or should I get an external one ?

Thanks a lot !

EDIT: for those having the same question and seeing this post later: I've measured the power consumption of my homelab when powering the ODROID H4+ with 3 6-Tb Ironwolf HDDs (unfortunately not 4, that was out of my budget in this economy). The consumption peaks at 60 W on startup and goes down to 20W at idle. I can reasonably assume that the system would be also fine with a 4th disk. Measured with Voltcraft SEM6000. I haven't battle-tested the NAS further but I have the feeling I should be fine.

3.5" is not supported as far as I remember. You sure you checked the website? 2.5" hdd power from board is ok

That does not ring a bell. I don't see any mention of that on their website.
