you're asking for a jbod.
for the love of god go to ebay and get one that was pulled from a server. they don't use USB they use SAS. USB doesn't have enough bandwidth for more than 2 drives.
To use one you will need a pcie SAS card. >>105598168 if you want only 6 drives then you need 2 ports. it's 4 drives per port. a cheap or old one will need 8 pcie lanes and a newer/better one will need only 4. That probably doesn't matter at all unless you already have like 20 drives connected to the pc. avoid one that has a built in raid controller those are twice as much and pointless.
The total budget should be about the same as 1 drive. there's tons of cheap surpluss and chinkshit out there.
