Can anybody help? I have 4 x 4tb WD Blue internal drives but can’t find an enclosure in which to fit them. Can anybody suggest an enclosure that will fit and connect through to the computer. I will be using USB imputs. I bought an icy box enclosure to put the drives in thinking all would be the same but it is not so. On the back of a single drive there are three connections and in the icy box there are only 2 connections for each single drive.
Try the Pro box by mediasonic I got them for less a $100 . I have been using this for a while . I have 2 of these with 4 X 4TB WD green in them .Got all my Blueray disc backed up on them and use them for my home theater media. Been using them for 3years now, got mine connected to my PC via e-Sata but you can connect them ia USB3.0 also and 2.0 but 2.0 is too slow for such a big storage. They have this new ones now that can handle 8TB disc per bay . .http://www.mediasonic.ca/product.php?id=1357290977
$100 is far too much to pay for a bare drive enclosure. I buy mine from the geeks at Newegg.com. I bought two last week from them on sale for under $15 each. Check the Orico brand. Start here:
There are also others out there like qnap or better a drobo . .
He cannot fit his 4 X 4Tb on the $ 15 enclosure you are suggesting, which probably has only 1 bay and up to a TB max … Did you read his problem? Read first before you suggest . .
He did not say he wanted them all in one enclosure, exactly. Anyway, maybe he ought to put them into a 4 bay NAS box, which may work out fine and gives more flexibility.WD has lots of choices.
BTW, find something more “severe” to scold people about here. “Read first before you suggest”. Good grief.
