Low-Cost Multi-Bay HDD Enclosure without RAID

Hi,

I'm after a multi-bay HDD enclosure without RAID.

Do they exist? I can only find RAID enclosures or NAS. I don't need either.

I know there are server solutions such as external SAS enclosures, but I can't believe there are no domestic solutions with USB 3.

yes there are.

for example : http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&c… (4 bay non raid, USB3.0, eSATA)

Or you can go supersize with 8 bay : http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&c…

Hope it helps.

also, I'm not affilated with pccasegear, just a happy customer

I'm not sure about those products, never used them myself before, you should research more before getting them, and i'm not recommending anything

  I like the Orico ones http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&c…
  They are more compact than the Hotway units.

    Hotway definitely wins in the 8-bay department. Better looks, 6TB support, 10cm less height and 13cm less width.
    
    But why are they all so expensive?!
    
    I could get a 4bay NAS or even a build a mini itx server for that price.
