Building my own TimeCapsule

Building my own TimeCapsule

I'm thinking of building my own TimeCapsule since Apple's one is pretty
expensive.
I have an unused 1TB HD that I bought to put in my computer in the first
place but it ended up being useless. So I thought I would recycle it in
this time capsule.
I thought about buying a RaspberryPi to run a Debian, connect it to my HD
and just share it over my home network.
But this solution has flaws:
The Pi doesn't have a SATA port to plug my HD in.
My HD is powered by a molex source
Is there a good (and cheap) alternative to the Pi which has a sata port,
or any other viable solution for my issue, keeping in mind that the final
machine should have low power-consumption since it'll be on most of the
time?
