it's best you take out one of your HDD...cause you really dont need 5 after you one of them is a 1TB 
Where did you read that Seagate was crap? I love my Seagate and actually ahd a bad experience with WD |
Are you sure about that?
Most of the USB powered enclosures i've seen are only for 2.5" drives (laptop drives).
Laptop drives are dog slow, and expensive compared to the 3.5" drives.
3.5" drives require 12V, and I'm pretty sure a USB port cannot provide that kind of power....maybe 5V max?
Either way, I have yet to come across a USB powered 3.5" drive enclosure.
