No idea if this will work but...
If you want the cover plate to fit, you'll need to either custom 3D print a new plate or dremel/drill a hole on the original one.
For CAINE, standard USB3.0 2.5" external HDDs would be fine. 2.5" drives so that you don't need to find additional power.
The older computer won't have USB3.0.
Anything stored on a server, unless newly updated, won't have USB3.0. Consider a laptop and doing some sort of network gigabit file transfer instead for the PST/email files. Gigabit vs USB2.0...gigabit wins hand down. Companies / enterprises have great networks and fast server storage so network is the way to go. Consider a crossover cable, might be necessary for direct server to laptop transfer, but better yet - get one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Cables-Unlimited-Cat6-Crossover-Adapter/dp/B00030BYJI
Wrap everything up in a logical image file (AD1 - FTK Imager).
Anything imaged using DD - create a compress E01 of it afterwards to save space and time later.
Get a USB3.0 Hardware write blocker for Thumb drives - then attach any USB card reader to it for other types. You can then use one of these as well for Hard Drives - https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-External-Docking-Station-Drives/dp/B00U8KSLA8/ref=sr_1_8?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1504501191&sr=1-8&keywords=sata+hard+drive. Might be able to find something cheaper.

With boot disks/bootable thumb drives - their equipment can do the work. Hardware write blocker now means you need a laptop to do on scene acquisition so that bumps your cost up. Make multiple disks and thumb drives - and you can do multiple things at once as opposed to a single laptop.
