Which Voltage and Amper to supply both Rock64 + External drive enclosure ? - prog-amateur - 08-21-2020

Hello, I want to power my Rock64 and an External RAID enclosure (2 hard drives) with 1 single power supply.
The purpose is a DIY NAS project, I want to avoid multiple power cables.

- The Rock64 has an official adapter delivering 5V/3A.
- The RAID enclosure has an adapter delivering 5V/1.5A

I don't think the official Rock64 adapter can power both devices, so I would like to know what power supply should I buy (how much V and A) to avoid any risk of over/under voltage ?

Thank you very much for your kind help !
