Howdy!
I'm looking to build something dumb, specifically, an injestion device using a sata port Multiplier like the one below, a usb to sata adapter, along with some fiber board, a few dvd drives, and an atx power supply, and maybe a handle?.

Question:
What would I be looking for in a usb to sata device that would support this?
Is there a better way to have 4 or so dvd drives hooked up to usb for cheap?
Should I look into getting an external laptop power supply instead of using an atx power supply for this?
Note: I did a similar cross post to r/homelab. I found a few diy devices that people made in the past, but they tended to use multiple usb to sata devices and multiplex from the usb side. They tend to be cable-heavy, and require multiple power supplies. I'd like this to be desktop sized.
