[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]This is a 4 Bay Hot-Swappable TRAYLESS SATA Enclosure w/ 4 eSATA connections and necessary cables included. It is the perfect editing solution for users that store a lot of data on multiple raw SATA drives. Simply open the door and the drive ejects, put a new one in and it mounts up immediatly. I was going to use it with my HVX because of all the High Definition football footage that I accumulate in one season, but the University bought one of their own. Now I have 2 :huh:

Here's the factory documentation:

• Terrific solution for creating a super fast external striped (RAID 0) SATA RAID array

This 4-Bay SATA external enclosure is built for speed and convenience! With 4 eSATA connectors (one for each drive) your data passes straight from each drive to the SATA host controller with no "bridge chip" to slow the transfer. Super convenient enclosure design includes tray-less drive bays which require no screws for mounting your drives. No drive mounting screws, no drive trays! Putting in a drive is as simple as opening the bay door, sliding the drive in, and then closing the door. And the drive bays support up to 50,000 insertion/removal cycles!
Compact design with a powerful built-in universal power supply. A great solution for anyone looking to store large amounts of data in a little package.
Fill the enclosure with four 1TB SATA drives to create a monster 4 terabyte striped RAID array for uncompressed HD video capture and editing! Or start out with a single drive for simple data storage and then add additional ones as the need arises.

I shopped for months and it was the cheapest solution I could find. However I am willing to loose a little money to avoid loosing more in the long run. I will let it go for $200 shipped.
