inexpensive rack mounted hard drive enclosure.
I think I'm looking for something that does not exist
I am looking for a cheap rack multiple chassis / enclosure that I can stick individual hard drives in and then plug them into my servers through USB or SATA. So DAS storage.
I can't find anything on the web that exists. Even anything from Etsy that's custom made. It's all $200 or more and includes some sort of controller. I just want something I can put my drives in and then plug in.
Does it exist?
So... It's just to hold the drives?? And you'll use a usb cable from each drive to the computer you want it in???
You can get JBOD enclosures. JBOD means just a bunch of disks.. where a NAS will give you a console or gui to manage disks and things like raid, a jbod enclosure would act the same as an external usb drive... Even with multiple disks. Though this would only be for one computer..
There are HDD docking stations that can be used over USB
