I don't believe you'll ever fulfill your wish list as stated.
Multiple drive enclosures all have fans because of concentrated heat
build up. If you want fan-less you have to go with a multiple single
enclosure models such as Speed Metal etc. but I have never seen a single
enclosure (a consumer item) with a 3 or 5 year warranty (which are
typically oriented towards larger capacity & robust commercial hardware
which all have fans).
Buying the single fanless enclosure(s) and HD of choice separately would
be the easiest way to go.

proving to be so. Any thoughts on why?
I can find some all in one, but I was hoping for the option to swap
drives without buying two full enclosures.
