September 24, 201312 yr The title pretty much says it all. Can anyone recommend a 4-bay external enclosure? Even though it's slow, it needs to be USB. This is for a non-unRAID project so I didn't know where else to put this. Thanks in advance.
September 24, 201312 yr I just got a 2 port docking station but they do make 4 port docks(a little pricey vs 2 port though) http://www.startech.com/HDD/Docking/4-Bay-eSATA-USB-3-to-SATA-Hard-Drive-Docking-Station-for-25-35-HDD~SATDOCK4U3E For enclosures, there are a bunch on newegg(raid and non-raid, usb2/3 and esata, though that requires a multiplier compatible port) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817707274 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817198047 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817998053
September 24, 201312 yr I have two of these. SANS DIGITAL TR4UTBPN 4Bay USB 3.0 / eSATA Hardware RAID 5 Tower RAID Enclosure (no eSATA card bundled) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816111149 PROS: USB 3.0 or eSATA. It can be JBOD or HW RAID. Built in PSU, no wall wart or box. Drives slide in without trays. Small, Portable. CONS: 4 drives instead of 5. if PSU has issues, you will need to do some work to replace it.
