Hey!

Basically, I want to expand my storage and tidy it up (atm I have more or less like 5 disks, external and internal ones).

While researching, I saw two things that may be appropiate: docking stations and disk enclosures

However, I am having some trouble understanding the difference (at least for my use case)

My use case is basically I have a server running ubuntu with all of my servers dockerized and just want to expand my storage to store movies and tv shows and make it look nicer. No RAID, no anything.

I came across two options:

and

Questions:

Which one do you think is better for my use case?

What’s the difference between docking stations and disk enclosures?

Are there any differences for my use case?

Do you know another device that may be better or have you had any bad experience with the aforementioned devices?

Thanks!
