so just taken apart one of the lacie external drives, and the HDD within fires up in a different enclosure, it's an 8tb Seagate Ironwolf. Question: is it worth getting a 2bay NAS enclosure to put the drives in and use for back up duties, (desktop and drives/ NAS - movies), like this https://smile.amazon.co.uk/QNAPTS-231P2-1G-Powerful-Affordable-Network-Attached/dp/B072WB9DGS/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2EKE1X4RC6NED&dchild=1&keywords=qnap%2B2%2Bbay&qid=1594203913&s=computers&sprefix=qnap%2B%2Ccomputers%2C160&sr=1-4&th=1
or should I just buy some more single drive enlosures (like these I already have) https://smile.amazon.co.uk/Tool-free-External-Enclosure-Adapter-Compatible-usb3-0-black/dp/B07L9KC9N4/ref=sr_1_21?dchild=1&keywords=3.5+esata+hard+drive+enclosure&qid=1594203715&s=computers&sr=1-21
or multiple enclosures (like this one) https://smile.amazon.co.uk/Mediasonic-SATA-Hard-Drive-Enclosure/dp/B078YQHWYW/ref=sr_1_5?crid=1GJB9KZF6KPKZ&dchild=1&keywords=mediasonic+enclosure&qid=1594203500&s=computers&sprefix=mediasonic+%2Ccomputers%2C147&sr=1-5
