    I am planning to buy an external dual SATA hard drive enclosure.

    The spec I am looking for is

    Firewire 400/800, ESATA
    RAID capability
    Hot-Swappable (so that I can just replace the drive like Floppy Disk as opposed to unscrew and open the box..)

    So far, wiebetech’s RTX220-QJ seems to meet the spec that I am looking for.

    https://www.wiebetech.com/products/RTX220-QJ.php

    But I never used their product before. Is this good? Do you have any other recommendation?

    I don’t want to spend no more than $400 unless there is strong reason to go beyond.

    Thank you in advance.

    P.S is FW1600/3200 coming anytime soon?

    I have a single enclosure Wiebetech. It has been flawless in the year I’ve been using it. I got a bunch of their drive cases for storing bare drives ––very nice.
