Best way to set 2 3.5" and 1 2.5" HDDs up for use with a MBP?

Hey guys.

At the moment, I have a 500GB HDD in my MacbookPro, alongside 1TB and 2TB desktop HDDs full of stuff I need just sitting around. I'm going to be putting my 120gb SSD from my desktop PC in my mac, but I want to be able to access each of the other drives for storage, as I have a lot of music, samples and other files that I need on them. I would like to be able to all 3 HDDs at once, and possibly access them remotely whilst I am on the uni wifi, for example.

What's the best, and cheapest way to set all of this up?

Cheers.

harddrive enclosures then stick them in your laptop bag/case if needed on the move? Sorry if I've misunderstood!

Don't really want to be carrying 3.5TB of hard drives around, they'll get damaged and I absolutely cannot afford to lose this data.

As this is software you are basically looking for, SQL, I would ask in the PC software forum.

Pogoplug and hdd caddy's
I use one for my movies which allows me to stream the files to other PC's on the network and via the Internet
It basically turns USB drive into a NAS drives

Thankyou

Exactly what I'm after.

Out of stock, but then I can't afford that right now. I'll stick with the 500gb in the MBP till then and use caddies, but that is exactly what I need
