    I was just wondering if anybody has used or opinions on either

    http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Icy-...-35-SATA-Enclosure-to-USB-20-11-Trayless-JBOD

    or

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/EdgeStore-DAS200-Bay-SATA-Enclosure/dp/B001H54JY0/ref=pd_sim_sbs_ce_3

    The advantage I can see of these is less cables, lower power consuption and can use the drives in a desktop at a later date but with this option there is added expense.

    Or do people think it would just be better to go for individual external drives.

    Thanks for any responses.
