Enclosures that turn three 5.25 into five 3.5 drives. They had a good deal on them on Black Friday so I loaded up.

Except they were $35 bucks or something low.
I've got a Bluray drive in my top bay, then one of these with 4 3TB WD Reds and a 750GB games drive. I run a pretty extensive Plex server for me and my friends, hence all the storage.
On this note, I've seen 3 5.25" bays hold 5 drives.. just a fyi

Yes, those are called DAS's (direct attached storage). Something like this? They are RAID capable but it's not required. You would connect it directly to the Shield rather than over the network.
I don't know how many free 5.25 bays you have but these work great iStarUSA BPN-DE350SS-BLACK 3x5.25 to 5x3.5 Trayless Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008RRZI14/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_xoSCyb2ESWDZV
