You can't buy this! Affordable Custom 2.5 inch SATA SSD/HDD 4 Bay Direct Attached Drive Enclosure

I have always struggled with keeping my data needs to a minimum, typical case of a Data Hoarder! One after another, and before you know it, you have a lot of drives that are hard to manage, we all have been there. I was trying to find a good solution for consolidating some of my most used drives into a single enclosure, but I couldn't find a solution that worked well for me. In this video, I build a custom HDD/SSD drive enclosure that you can recreate very easily if you are in the same boat.

Some of the items I used were my old parts, but here is a list of comparably priced products that are available on Amazon,

SATA Cage: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BR5RBCMY
SATA Cables: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01I9JBMUA
NVME Enclosure: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08LYQPRPJ
Pico PSU: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F57GKCL
PSU Jumper: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07LGRFMDP
Aluminum Plates: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09JF1MSJS
DC Adapter: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0852HX9HV
NVME to SATA: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09MQKW6DP

For rest of the aesthetic parts, one can choose whatever they want. Hope this helps!

Update on USB to NVME Enclosures

It was brought to my attention in the comments that most of the USB to NVME enclosures don't tunnel PCIE traffic so they will not work for this, unless it's USB 4.0 that can support PCIE. However, it works well with Thunderbolt ones like I have done here. Bottom line is that the cost may go up a little bit once we replace the USB enclosure with a thunderbolt one, but we get 40 G speeds which is a welcome tradeoff I guess. Sorry about the confusion in the video, please make sure to check for this if you are planning a similar build.
