How can i put my old hardisks in 1 rig ??

[X--Jason--X]

Marami na akong naipon na old hardisks na gumagana pa. When you start buying higher capacity hardisks, your old hardisks like 40 GiG, 80 GiG, and now 120 GiG, starts to pile up dahil puno na yung dalawang drive bays sa PC ko.

Meron bang commercial rig na binebenta where I can just plug all 3 of these hardisks together tapos pwede kong isaksak via USB sa desktop/laptop computer ko? Yun kasing mga USB Enclosures eh pang-isahang hardisks lang.

You can use RAID.

You can use RAID.

Can i walk into a computer store and say, "Pabili nga ng RAID?". If yes, what does RAID look like? Can it be plugged into my laptop via USB?

RAID is an "implementation concept". It is not an object that you can buy in a store.

I think your question is about whether there is a mechanical enclosure being sold over-the-counter where you can fit in several hardisks with a common power supply and a single data cable. I know only of servers with built-in motherboards already. I'm not sure whether they sell metal boxes with a simple electronics board that handles data traffic only between the array of hardisks and a separate computer/PC.

There are extenal enclosure that can have more than I drive inside. Ang problema, ala atang available dito sa pinas. Kung meron kang lumang pc, gawin mo na lang fileserver dun mo ilagay yung mga hard disk.

you might want to consider getting an additional pci ide/raid controller if you've used up all your ide connectors.
