It's difficult to say what the possibilities are when you haven't told us the brand or model of the enclosures are. I'm using a symology cubestatiom and it's got lots of neat features for eg. It's a web server, a file server, a music server AND I like I can configure it to download stuff from either torrents or usenet. It can also serve high definition films to my media player.
