HELP: Multibay Enclosure for DS209 or TS-219P

one33_bpm

New Around Here
Recently i tried using an old motherboard that had 8 SATA ports to build myself a file server, and unfortunately i found out the hard way that one of the SATA controllers was not dependable. Thus I have decided it safer to put my efforts into a NAS system.

I have found that all i need is 500GB of redundant storage for [pictures, music, important files] and as much storage as possible for movies and tv shows.

I currently have the following HDDs from the previous failed experiment:
2x 500GB SATA2
5x 1TB SATA2

I was thinking of getting a Synology DS209 or QNAP TS-219P for the NAS and RAID capabilities, which would then leave me needing a way to access 5x 1TB hard disks. I don’t feel that another NAS device would be worth the expense, so instead I am trying to figure out another way of hooking up these disks to the NAS via USB2.0 or eSATA to maintain access to them through the NAS.

To that end, I need suggestions on a 4/5 bay 3.5” SATA enclosure that will work with the DS209 or TS-219P. It doesnt need to have RAID capabilities, just 1 volume per disk, preferably NTFS, and it has to work with one of the two mentioned NAS devices.

thanks!

thanks!
