as you have already found out 5 Bay's are hard to come by, 4 seems to be the sweet spot. And the few you will find, are priced at premium. I was looking at the sans digital myself, and they've just come out with sata 3 model.

I can't comment about any of these from personal experience.

 

But I am familar with the Sans Digital TowerRAID products. And IIRC, they do work very well. Though the card that comes with it is a Silicon Images based card and is basically trash.

Useful feedback thanks....what card would you recommend if not the silicon images one?

Thats great!  A SATA III port multiplier enclosure would be very useful indeed.  Anybody have any experience with this new model?
