Yes and no. I have multiple drives that I want to put into one enclosure.

I have some old HDDs and SSD's that are all hanging out in their own enclosures and I'd like to put them all under one roof. My PC doesn't have the room in it for all of them and I have been looking at external enclosures. I need something that can hold up to 4 2.5" drives. I've got a janky idea to throw one together involving Velcro, but I'm looking for one that sits them all together in a single case. I've seen a few on Amazon and they either don't work because they are open, too expensive, or too big. They don't need to run in RAID. These are just old drives that I need access to. USB 3.0, but 2.0 would work. Type A connector is fine, but wouldn't say no to a Type C. An independent wall wort is okay, they don't need to be powered by USB alone. About $50-60 for the price. Size should be not much bigger than the drives. My desk is tight on space as is and adding something the size of a standard UPC is not going to work. I know I'm asking a lot. I've looked on Amazon (bad selection), Newegg (worse selection and overpriced), Monoprice (no selection), and Microcenter (no selection). Thanks for the help and suggestions in advance.

Nice. Thanks for the input. That ASUS looks sweet and is in a good price. The ACER looks awesome, but yeah, it's just a touch too much at the high end of my budget. Thansk star_pilot475.

Hey Everyone; So after a long time, I'm finally in a place where I can afford to get a new laptop. I am currently rocking a Toshiba Satellite A205-S5814 - 15.4" - Pentium T2330 with 4 GB of ram and 500 GB Samsung SSD. I want to upgrade to a new machine, but I can't really afford more than about $600 USD for it. My key point for it are: 1. Light -- Sub 3 pounds would be awesome, but realistically, I'm okay with just about any weight. 2. HD/SSD -- Either a 1 TB HD or SSD, but if it doesn't have it, I can upgrade later. 3. Brightness -- The display panel does have to be bright. Old eyes don't see dark screens that well. 4. Ram -- 8 GB minimum with the ability to upgrade. As with the HD though, if it doesn't have it out of the box, I'm okay with it. 5. Processor -- More than two cores please. 6. OS -- Windows only. 7. Connections -- USB 3.0 ports. HDMI/Display Port is not important to me. Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc ... yes. In addition, a screen size of 14" or larger and a keyboard that is not like a Macbook and has some travel. I know this might be a fools errand, but a man can dream. Thanks for any help or advice in advance. Cheers. P.S. This machine is mostly going to be used for writing and internet, and possibly Minecraft.
