Original Title: looking for an hdd enclosure of 4 / 5 drives or 2/3 x2 that makes the least noise possible from fans and even hdd vibrations, and if possible, doesn't auto-spin down the drives or let me configure it.
Hi
I am looking for an external hdd enclosure, I would like to use it with 3 drives at least, but possibly 4/5 in the future, so I think it would be better a 4 / 5 hdd enclosure? Or maybe a 2/3 drives and buy 2/3 of them?
I would really love if the enclosure makes the least noise possible, that includes the sounds of the hdd's vibrations and spins. I tried to just putting them inside the computer case, but the noise they make it's making me go insane, so I just want to put them in an external case 3 meters away from me and connect them through a long usb.
and also, if possible, that the enclosure don't spin down my drives if I don't want it or have in windows selected to not do it. I think this will be impossible, but well, it is what it is.
I don't look for a nas, just the cheapest external enclosure with those features.
I've seen a lot of brands like orico, fantech, terramaster, sabrent, but after losing hours trying to find specs or opinions, I ended even more confused than before.
It will be used for torrenting / watching media when I'm on the computer, don't need to run it while I'm not, just that.
