Stuff like a pretty case with slots for optical drives, a laptop with a shitton of ports and all-day battery life or anything else that seems to go against the trends.

This thread is for complaining about how you can't find it and (maybe) finding it thanks to someone else.

I don't know if it's possible but it feels like a cheap box for (sata) hard drives would be super useful for people having a bunch of old drives. The only ones I can find are top of the line expensive NAS or DAS stuff for say 2 to 4 large drives, not my 7 drives from 500GB to 2TB...

I use a 5โ‚ฌ sata-usb connector but it's not very practical, a usb hub + 7 of these connectors would cost like 40โ‚ฌ ... Not reliable or anything but it would just need a box!

there is this ^ thing for 130, which is more expensive that what you mentioned but seems to fit your criteria moreso.
