Which disk enclosure should I go for? (alien.top)

Hey!

I want your opinion

I just want a simple disk enclosure to store my disks since I have a lot of adapters for my HDDs. My current library is about 6tb, so not a lot. I just have a plex server with some services running in docker in a low power mini pc.

Which one do you guys recommend me? (the budget is 200usd)

Thanks!

The Sabrent one is nice.

Small quirk with it. If there's a complete power failure, ex. power outage at house or battery backup drains, you to need to manually press the power button(s) on the enclosure to power the disks back up.

That might be a positive thing if you have multiple small blackout in your area.
