What is the advantage of purchasing a HDD enclosure when I can just plug them into my motherboard with SATA cables? I'm only running a couple of drives, and my case comes with housing for multiple HDDs underneath (near the PSU). There's like 6 SATA ports on my motherboard as well.

What am I missing here? I'm pretty new to this field so take it ez if this is dumb. I was astonished when I couldn't find anyone else online asking the same question.
