I think most 3.5" drives will use only the +5V supply.
Wall adapters (DC) may have small smoothing capacitor, AC of course none?
With 7805 it's best to use ceramic capacitors on pins of the regulator, as is suggested by manufacturer's datasheet.
Heat sink is likely to be needed... Might burn fingers without?
