Depends on how big the CD box power supply is. Some are more marginal than others. However, I've used the smaller boxes for shuffling around data with 1/3 height hard drives without problems,. I just don't do it long term or use the larger, older drives in the box. You could try it, leave the case off & see how hot the power supply gets, with use, or of course cross ref the specs on the case with your HD.
