Hi guys,

Can anyone recommend a good external drive enclosure for two or more drives? I don't have any more hard drive space on my new computer and want to add some external hdds. I want to use them in a RAID configuration, but am flexible in that regard.

My target budget is $150 usd, but I can save for more if required. I either want a cheapish external now that I can upgrade/replace later, or spend a bit more on a NAS that will last longer.

I want to eventually make a NAS setup down the line, but I'm not certain if it is worth it or within my budget to do so now. I've been looking around at some options but I don't really know anything about the quality/reliability of the various brands/models.

Sorry if this gets asked a lot, but I could only find several year old threads on this specific topic.

I'm very new to this so any advice is appreciated.
