[Rajahal]

Rosewill RSV-S5 SATA 3G 2.5" & 3.5" HDD 5-Bay RAID 0/1/5/10/5+spare/Spanning/JBOD Storage Enclosure System with 120mm cooling fan/ Port Multiplier/ PCIe card included/ Tray design

 

$130 after promo EMCJHKB45 (expires 12/14/2011)

 

Comes with a bundled PCIe x1 eSATA port multiplier.  If your server has a free PCIe x1 or faster slot, this enclosure will allow you to add up to 5 more drives externally.  Might be a nice way to re-introduce your small 500 GB (or smaller) drives into your storage array to tide you over until the HDD market settles down a bit.  Can also be used as a preclear station, or for housing apps/cache drives.
