Here's the spec on max power the pi can supply to the drive controller:
https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/raspberry-pi.html#maximum-power-output
. So, just insure that your drive/controller is less than, say 80% of
this.

I think your (OP) reference to size is you currently have a 2.5
controller enclosure and you want to use a 3.5? If so, get a different
controller, they are inexpensive (Ive used Vantec)
