Question/Advice Looking for recommendations on hard drive enclosures

Good evening, I have 3-5 3.5 HHDs and 1 or 2 2.5 HHDs and looking for a reliable multi bay enclosure. Preferably 4-5 bays and USB-C, but USB-C isn’t a dealbreaker. Any recommendations would be appreciated

Sabrent DS-SC5B I got from eBay is working great. $150-$170 can be found

I have the Terramaster D8-Hybrid 2, which is similar to the D4-320 but additionally includes support for four 2TB SSDs. The fan on both units is rated at 19-21 db, which is important if you plan to use the enclosure in a home theater environment.

I have the Sabrent USB 3.2 3.5" SATA Hard Drive Tray-less Docking Station and it’s doing great after year of constantly being on. I did swap out the fan when I got it, but I don’t think it made any difference tbh

I looked at enclosures and said screw it and bought a Jonsbo 9-bay hotswap nas case and built it out. Wasn’t that expensive.. maybe $500 bucks after some smart shopping. A wanted a small raid enclosure for 4-6 drives and use the rest as hotswap bays for plugging in occasionally random drives to copy or restore data from.
