I've been using startech version for a while https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071WYWFJC/
Ok, so the issue with that Icy Dock you've linked is twofold:
First, it's meant to occupy a 5.25" slot in your case and face outward. While you may have the internal space for it, it looks like the faceplate on that case would prevent it from being accessible externally, which is the point of those types of add-ins.
Secondly, those are all 2.5" drive slots. GL getting 8TB drives in that form factor. :)
However, if going external is an option, something like this OWC coupled with this USB-C card could work very nicely for your needs. USB-C should have plenty of throughput for transcoding.
Right after they mentioned this, I started looking at PCIe expansion cards with USB-C as my PC runs on an old Z97 board with an i5 4690k. Found this, quite cheap.
Oddball question, I got a desktop PC, USB c 3.1 addin card from StarTech, I want to use a USB C dock, but they and hubs all seem to have power delivery built in, is there any issue with me using one with power delivery or will it fry the addin card or PC?

This one is USB 3.1 Gen 2 - 10gbps. Won't help the Link. But it is the best and most modern standard.
You will need to connect SATA power to this card for maximum power delivery.
I'm still researching options....
Yup, USB C cards are a thing.
