How about a table-top dock? - no cable salad, caused by each enclosure having its own power supply and data cable - disks are used “naked”, so no heat buildup and you are more flexible Here are some models with eSATA: https://skinflint.co.uk/?cat=hddocks&xf=4426_eSATA And one of them even has four slots → even fewer cables. That’s of course if you use the disks intermittently and store them away inbetween. If you plan on running them for longer durations at a time, it may be better to use a proper enclosure, in order to protect the disks from physical influences (impacts, short-circuits). Also, those SATA connectors are not designed to be connected often. I think I read about 50 cycles somewhere. -- Grüße | Greetings | Salut | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network.
