External HDD/SSD enclosure for a Mac Studio

[danqi]

Which external enclosure would you recommend for use with an M1 Mac Studio and a mix of SATA HDDs and SSDs?

I am looking for 4 drives in one enclosure, more or less.

When I last looked into this over a year ago I settled on the Sabrent DS-SC4B. Is that still a solid choice or did something new come out?

My thinking at the time was that USB 3.2 would be enough for those older SATA drives and I'd get a separate fast NVME drive at some later point in time.

I can't comment on the performance of any 4 drive enclosure but they do look nicer than my dangling USB to SATA cables connecting three SSDs plus the stack of six individual USB-connected HDD housings! It's all out of sight, though.

I didn't want to pay over $50 per drive connection.
