Assuming the supply can saturate the current the fan will use, at 12V it’ll be running at full speed. That’s probably pretty loud. Give it 5V, it’ll run slower and quieter.

I picked up an old Dell server some time ago and wound up finding firmware that made the RAID card passthrough so that TrueNAS could have direct access to disks for ZFS
That server was all SATA based so I’m not sure what options you’ll have, but it’s worth looking into.
Ultimately, my thinking is that just because there’s something “better” out there doesn’t mean you shouldn’t work with what you have.
Where is “here”?
You might want to check out the member listings at https://www.datarecoveryprofessionals.org/
These organizations generally seem to hold themselves to a “better” standard than the rest of the industry.
expect to pay a lot for zero results
Industry standard for data recovery specialists is “no data, no charge”
Yeah, it’s just an inline resistor
A potentiometer is a resistor that you adjust using a dial. If you want control, you may want to get a PWM fan control module. There’s the Noctua NA-FC1 https://www.noctua.at/en/products/na-fc1 but that’s pretty much just a fancy expensive version, you can find the same concept for as little as $1-2 USD
