Looking for a media player that will recognize all of the Hard Drives in three 4 Bay

Hi-
I'm looking for a media player that will recognize all of the Hard Drives in three 4 bay enclosures(12 Drives @ 2TB each). The enclosures are 2 Mediasonic HFRS-SU3S2FW and 1 Icy Dock MB561US-4SB. I will be using the Media player mainly for watching .mkv video. The TV is a Panasonic Plasma Viera TC-P50S30 with 3 HDMI and 2 USB inputs.
I have a WD Media Player Live Plus which only recognizes one Hard Drive per enclosure.
My budget is under $300.00. Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem and I decided to build an HTPC. It could be done for $300.

I don't know how well it recognizes stacked drives(had no problems so far with up to 4 drives). Take a look at the Patriot Memory PBO-Core. It sells for about $80.00 USD and can play just about any file format. I really like mine. Much better than other brands I have had.

Can it take on movies encoded in 10bit? I find that unlikely.

Thanks for the replies. Any other media players that will recognize the Enclosure Hard Drives? Asus, Popcorn Hour or V8,Roku, Seagate, Iomega, Boxee Box or another?
The responses are appreciated.

If its on a network WD Live should see it. I have an HP Mediacenter that uses JBOD so all 4 appear as one.
