OT; Multiple HD external tower enclosure?

[Lionheart]

Hey guys,

I have been looking for a HD enclosure that can hold perhaps 4 to 5 HD's.

My present computer cannot house them inside.

I have found '2' passenger HD enclosures, but no 4 or 5 passenger models. I looked through NewEgg.com, but didnt see much.


Could one exist that I am not finding?

depending on how you want to use the drives (working storage, backups, etc. ) you might want to investigate the usual sources for "NAS enclosures" (Network Accessible Storage). Prices can get high depending on capability and features but there are quite a few that hold up to 4 drives, have raid systems installed, are hot-swappable and use combinations of USB, RL-45, Firewire and eSATA connections.
