    Title says it all. I have 2 extra 500GB 7200RPM 2.5" drives I want to put into an external enclosure with esata and RAID capabilities. Any recommendations?

    Edit: This is what I have found so far. LINK. Anyone have this already?

    Addonics makes a 4 bay enclosure with a few options including raid 1/0/5/10. Hit their web site up for info.

    Thanks. It does look good but a bit over kill for what I need. I found the same thing I linked before here.

    Much cheaper. Seems like the easiest option.
