Drobo has an interesting line of products

i know
but i want to build my own system not depend on a ready made product

I've had good luck with http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... -_-Product

thanks but do you know one that works with 3.5" discs and not 2.5' ?
they are a lot cheaper

Not off the top of my head.

thanks anyway
the one you suggested is good but buying 2.5" drives will kill my budget
for what a 500GB 2.5" costs i can buy 1TB 3.5" drive with money left over

You really have a choice cheap or good. Pick one.

I like this model from Supermicro.

Supermicro CSE-M35T-1B 5-in-3 drive cages

Here is the link on New Eggs Site. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6817121405

Avoid the ones with a small fan for each drive they get very noisy and don't cool worth a damm.

ICY Dock also makes 3.5' Enclosures. ICY DOCK MB973SP-B Tray-less 3 in 2 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6817994097

I would stick with the Supermicro model as it is server grade.

thanks
