    Hi there, does anyone know if there are any 2 slot 2.5 raid enclosures on the market?

    My preferences would be in order of importance:

    -"phantom" power (no power dongle)
    - eSATA connectivity
    - usb Connectivity
    - firewire connectivity
    - support for onboard raid (not really necessary ill just get an expresscard adapter)

    I know there are many quad SAS products, as well as dual 3.5" solutions however my reasoning behind this is as so:

    id like to upgrade to an mtron 32 SSD, yet have secure RAID 1 storage on an external drive while maintaing portablilty, and the flexibility of plugging in the array, or JBOD, into another machine.

    I have been hunting for awhile has anyone seen something liek this, or AM i just better off buying two seperate 2.5 enclosures?
