Multiple Hard Drive Enclosure

[Bull1012]

Hi Guys,

I need some help
I have about 6 - 8 3.5" ext hdd (1.5TB - 2TB) which are already in individual enclosures
I was wondering if there is a enclosure that can accommodate more than one ext hdd
Having to connect and disconnect different drives with different power cables is bothersome and leaves cables lying everywhere. Some of these cases don't have on/off switches which means having to pull out the plug

My PC Tower is already maxed out with a 120Gb SSD + 5x2TB drives (I even gave up an optical drive space)

I have seen the following:

http://www.comx.co.za/EE-CB8283ER-CFi-B8283ER-8-bay-DAS-external-tower-enclosure-Buy-p-44542.php

For that price, I can get the HP N54L Microtower (Have seen on other threads) or another tower

Have USB 3.0 - No esata
I don't need the enclosure to support raid
NAS capability would be nice but not a deal breaker
Would like it to cost not more than 2k

Which is my best option?
Let me know if you need my PC Specs

2 suggestions - Remove some digital rubbish or start the process of swapping out your drives for 3 or 4tbs

Use that R1500 to buy your first 3tb, move stuff off your 2tb, sell it, buy another 3, and so on and so on
