I dont expect to need more lanes for this nas. The drives are 12TB each and should me more than i need for what i plan to use them for.

The biggest thing i was hoping to get out of a premade enclosure was lower power draw, but you’re right that I can just get old low power equipment, which should help

I would take a SAS DAS if you know of one.

This is what i was expecting to hear, i was just hopeful someone knew something i didnt.
