What you're looking for is a NAS device.
I don't know what $20-40 enclosures you've seen; but, all the good NAS units I've seen are $100+ at least. The only NAS units I've worked with are Netgear units, and those were pretty easy to setup. I have set this one up a number of times for a few
non-profit organizations and I haven't had any complains so far. Here's a list of all the...

1. A rebuild can take several hours depending on how large the drives are. A rebuild will finish faster if you boot into the Adaptec controller and leave it there until it finishes.
2. Since you do not have a

3. Once it is finished rebuilding,...

Well, your drive has failed for one reason or another, and it looks like the damage is on that particular partition.
You might try a program called Spinrite... it might get you a little more data out of the drive, but I'm thinking that, unless you want to spend a whole lot of money on professional

Oftentimes, the problem is that you have a Windows Explorer window open to the drive in question. If you close all your Explorer windows, then you will be able to use the
