Hard Drive Enclosure

Hi All
I have a couple of old laptops with 250 and 320gb hard drives and also 2 SATA (I think) drives in external enclosures.
Wanted to either put them all in 1 enclosure or sync them all some how. Any advice on the best way to do this please, thanks.
Ideally if I can put them in an enclosure or NAS (???) so that they can hold music, photos & videos as well as laptop back ups that would connect to TV/Stereo etc.
Thanks in advance for reading

If you put them in an enclosure you can do whatever you want.0

Put them in USB enclosures then use a USB hub with them all connected to it.0

If they're USB-powered enclosures (common on 2.5" drives) just make sure the USB hub is powered.0
