HDD enclosure

[XxCyrexX]

Is it possible to use an enclosure like this, https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16817707367, and attach it to an Asus AC68U router as network storage for movies? I have a 2015 Nvidia Shield TV that I will use as a Plex Media Server/Player.

If that's just a usb hdd enclosure on steroids e, I'd say spend the same amount an actual NAS

That's what I was going to use it for was easy USB storage, I would like to get an actual NAS but for 8-bay they are around twice as much as this. I also have no need for VM's or anything else.

Obviously could find a more effective build but real quick

Do you need 8? But either way with needing that many drives, and wanting specifically plex, I'd just build a relatively cheap server for like 350. Since you'd possibly need trans coding and whatever else that the router would not handle
