I'm trying to find a hard drive enclosure for my backup hard drives. I have four hard drives in my computer and four identical drives to back them up to. For now I have been using an eSATA dock to do this.
What I need is an external enclosure that holds four disks. I don't want to do RAID, I want to do JBOD, but I want each drive addressed independently. I don't want them turned into one big disk. It needs to be eSATA and I want a power switch on the back so I can turn it off after I have run my backups. Also, it doesn't need to include a controller card.
I've been looking all morning and I can't find one. I thought it would be simple but all of the ones I can find just turn it into one big disk which to me is called BIG, not JBOD, but there seems to be some confusion. So, help me out of you know of something that will work please post it up.
