Dual 3.5" external hard drive enclosures

I almost filled up my 6 TB hard drive with blu-ray rips and I"m looking to buy another 6 TB hard drive in the near future and remove my current 6 TB hard drive from my system and putting both hard drives in a dual external 3.5" hard drive enclosure if one exists. I don't want a NAS. It must be USB 3.0 as I want to use the USB 3.0 connection on my system. Are there any external 3.5" USB 3.0 external enclosures that are not NAS enclosures?
 
There are external JBOD USB3.0 enclosures, but I'm not sure of any that take 6TB HDDs. You would have to look around, and potentially buy and test them yourself.
 
here's a four bay unit from Rosewill for $52 shipped fm amazon that i just ordered

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=2079475242&pf_rd_i=desktop

it's meant to occupy 3 5.25" bays but i'll be putting it on the desk next to the computer - it has a sata connection, and i've got one sata port still available, and there's an opening on the back of my computer case where i can feed the cable thru. If i get tired of the "industrial" look i can always fab an enclosure. One of the comments indicated the user had installed 4 tb HDDs, which is what i've got
 
I've had the Sabrent dual docking station for about a week now and it works great for 2 drives.

It's all plastic, so it kinda has a cheap feel to it. Also, not sure if it can support 4TB/6TB drives. Some of the users on Amazon say it's 3TB max, but others claims 4TB.
