Looking for a cost-effective solution to house a few 3.5" SATA drives, doesn't have to be a NAS.

I have a few 3.5" drives laying around ranging from 500GB to 2.5TB, and thought they'd be put to better use as external storage for my Macbook Air and Retina iMac which are both using low capacity flash drives.

I currently have an Icy Box NAS4220-B which houses 2 of the drives, but I can't get it to work at all.

I'm after something cheap, so it doesn't need to have network capability, but USB, possibly Thunderbolt (unlikely at desired pricepoint) and the ability to hold at least 2-3 drives with low power-consumption.

What are my best options?
