    Need suggestion for best way to convert 5.25 bay to more HDD bays

    Thank you for the info! Although, I don't want a backplane, had to look up what that is, that is the little motherboard in it that I don't want, it is just another thing to go wrong. I just want an open cage so I can plug the HDDs right into my system with no middle items. Awesome, and thanks...

Then two drives will be for redundancy leaving me with a full 6x5tb drives, or 30TB, to use. Presently I have almost 20TB used...

    No is not an acceptable answer. Yes, it is possible, Yes, it is feasible, and Yes it is within the realm of reason to consider. You said, "you'll need university level of knowledge in networking", so small-minded, university level of knowledge is cheap and easy. You said, "thousands" as if...
