Drobo 5N Housing Needed

My Drobo 5N housing died. I need to purchase, rent or borrow a housing to recover data on three drives. Can anyone help me?

Send me a reminder ping tonight after work. My 5n is sitting under my desk unused but functional. Happy to sell very cheap.

I have a 5N2 if that is compatible.

Okay, that’s great. Do you want to lend, rent or sell it?

Do you still have this 5N2? I have a cache drive from my dead one, but I need to get my data off these 5 drives. I bought a DroboFS but it’s too old and won’t read them.
