I think I have 6How many free/open sata ports do you have on your pc?
Alright I will look in to JBODAgreed. You're going to be hard pressed to find a hardware solution that accommodates 12 hard drives. If you do, though, you could look into a JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks) RAID solution.

Could you send me some links that i could check out?Look into an ibm m1015 that has been flashed to IT mode. They should be $50. Make sure he board itself is green and not yellow.
It will act as an ordinary 8 port Sata adapter and then also using your motherboard ports you can use Windows Storage Spaces to create a volume using all 12 drives.
