Best value external drive setup?


hey guys,

have 2007 white macbook act file server. right it's connected 3 tb wd mybook drive.

need more space, not budget, after looking through solutions offered ( drobo, synology, qnap, freenas box, etc ), way expensive or have many feature don't need. need able store movies, tv shows, music, , backup work data. don't need fast drive, nas capability (since it's shared through macbook), or raid / redundancy stuff.

long story short, have 2 options in mind :

1. buy powered usb hub, , add 3-4 external wd drive. cheapest option think.

2. buy docking station sharkoon quattro.. it's 100 bucks.

reliability , low power consumption must, since it'll run 24/7..

guys think? 1 guys recommend?

thx guys.
 

update : reccomend me roswill storage enclosure seems overkill , pricey.. although 8 drive gives me more expandability..
