I have 6 500 GB SATA Hard drives running around. I have an imac, so having a bunch of external hard drives is not really what I want with my limited amount of USB ports. I would like 1 6 or 8 bay hard drive enclosure. I do not need it to be a NAS enclosure as I am planning on getting a time capsule just adding it to that through USB. Mainly I will be using it as a back up (until I get the Time Capsule) and a place for my movies, music and pictures. Any one know where I can get one that I can RAID them all into JBOD.

Pretty sure this is your only option unless all the drives are the same manufacturer, model number, etc.

Take a look at Sans Digital.
They've got pretty good solutions.
