External hdd storage

So I need some extra storage and was thinking along the lines of ICY BOX IB-RD3621U3 or maybe a 4 drive one that I can just hook up via usb to my computer can I use this one and wothout raid?

Yes you can use that for expansion. It plugs in over USB-c. You can configure it for RAID 0 (striped), Raid 1 (mirror), or as 2 individual drives or finally as 1 large drive. I cannot tell you what happens with your data if you choose large (combined) drive and one disk fails.

Icydock also has cages/backplanes that will fit in 2 x 5.25" bays or 3 x 5.25" bays that will allow you to had 2, 3 or 4 hard drives if you have the space in a larger tower. They connect over SATA.
