To a child, often the box a toy came in is more appealing than the toy itself

I just put a bunch of external 4TB USB drives on a Mac Mini which is also connected to home theater. I was going to go with a Synology or QNAP but 1) drives were expensive when I was buying (no longer true) 2) this is incremental 3) none of the lower end devices support decent full-disk crypto -- you need to go up to an i3-based system, which is kind of pricey.

I looked for the same thing (a multi-drive USB enclosure), but a good Pluggable hub and a bunch of discrete drives seems to work better.

ZFS seems like the right solution now, so if I move to a place with an equipment closet, I'll probably do that. (current solution is also pretty quiet)

So out of curiosity, what file system format are you using? HFS+?

Yes :( I realize this is suboptimal, but it's easy.
