I came across a pretty solid deal on the TERRAMASTER D4-320 4-Bay USB-C Direct Attached Storage (DAS) enclosure.
This is not a NAS, so it connects directly to your computer over USB-C. If you're looking for a simple way to expand storage for media, backups, Plex libraries, or photo/video editing without dealing with networking, this is worth considering.
Highlights
4-bay enclosure (diskless)
USB 3.2 Gen2 (10Gbps)
Up to 120TB total capacity (4 × 30TB drives)
Supports both 3.5" and 2.5" SATA HDDs/SSDs
Hot-swappable drive bays
Tool-free drive installation
Compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux
Works with Thunderbolt 3/4 ports via USB-C
A few things I like:
Each drive shows up individually (no forced RAID).
Easy to swap drives without opening the enclosure.
Quiet cooling fan with decent airflow.
Good option if you already have spare SATA drives lying around.
Keep in mind this is a DAS (Direct Attached Storage), not a NAS. There are no built-in RAID features, so if you're looking for network sharing or hardware RAID, you'll want a different model.
Overall, it seems like a nice solution for:
Home backups
Media collections
Plex/Jellyfin storage
Photo & video editing
Extra storage for desktops or laptops
