Is there a way to connect 4-8 ssd's to one port

Go to solution Solved by whispous,

Powered (!) USB 3 hub.

I'm not sure its possible but what im looking for is an enclosure that allows several ssd's to be plugged in via one usb port and all drives be recognized a individual drives.
Googling i see things called Nas and raid but they dont seem to be what im looking for.

My issue :
Pc only has 2x 3.1 gen 2 ports and i have 8x 1tb ssd's all with games stored on them that i would like to be able access without hot swapping drives (or at least 4 of them at a time).

I dont mind spending a little extra on something and i would rather have multiple ssd's rather than one large one in case of failures and cost.
I dont need the gen 2 speed although that would be nice as long as its still faster loading games than 7200rpm drives.

Thank you

I finally found a solution. 2x StarTech.com 4-Port USB C Hub - USB 3.1 Gen 2 its a little expensive but $140 is worth maintaining the gen2 aspect . Thanks

As long as it has its own power adapter, it should be fine.

 

But why USB drives? Why aren't the drives internal?
