I'm looking for an external drive storage that can carry at least 3 3.5 sata 2 hdd's. It would be nice if it had an network port. If been looking around in a couple of online shops but i can't find anything with more capacity than 2 disks.
 
There are quite a new Network Attached Storage devices out there that allow for 2 disks. However, it's not going to be all that cheap. Probably the cheast around is the older Netgear NAS(I forget the model, but I think they have a newer, better one out now as well...) However it requires special software to use and only works over the network(no USB).

There might be some on newegg; I know they have 4 disk NAS systems.
 
no usb is no problem i'm just gonna hang them on my switch. i just need something to get a bigger data storage. both my pc's are full with disks. I dont feel like replacing them. and i dont feel like using a complete pc for some storage. to noisy and to big.

but thnx for the advice i'll go look for some netgear
 
OK... I would suggest other brands over it, but it was the first that came to mind :o Plus it's the cheapest by far (probably for a reason :P )
 
The best solution is getting a 500GB SATA2 internal hard drive, and external hard drive enclosures from eBay. The whole thing costs $AU180.
 
I think enclosures are more efficient. I suppose you can always get those data racks which houses several drives, but they are not portable though.
