However, I'm OK with 2 separate 1U 4 drive enclosures with USB3 but I'm still yet to find a rack-mountable option.Look at this Sabrent 4-Bay USB3 Docking Station at just $80: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H11KXCL
A rack version with a couple of built-in fans shouldn't cost more than $200. Don't you think?
I don't think usb 3 will cause a major speed issue, but they really just aren't that cheap.
Here is a qnap 4 bay 1u usb enclosure https://www.qnap.com/en-us/product/tr-004u
Still like 300 bucks. People just don't make acheap ones.
