Options for a dock with 4 bays for mass storage HDDs? (alien.top)

I already have a nice couple mini pcs as home servers, not looking for any smart stuff, so options like the Sinologys are way too expensive and would be infreaused, specially any model with 4 bays.

I'm looking for "dumb" enclosures with decent speed transfers that I can plug to my mini pcs. I'm not seeing a lot of options and the ones I'm seeing don't have great reviews. I'm also not looking to use an old pc case wuth a full pc.

What are you guys using?

Or am i doing wrong in ignoring the synology because i don't plan to use any of the extra features they pack?
