Does anyone sell an external firewire 800 case that supports two internal drives? I have two seagate 400GB drives i want to RAID 0/1 but haven't seen anything on the web.

oooo pretty and only $120, after posting I found the G-Drive company sells a 2 drive enclosure but theirs costs $200. I wonder what the difference is besides brand.

I was going to suggest G-Tech, however I didn't see they had an enclosure available. Do you have a link to it?

I have a 250Gb G-Tech Quad, which has been great so far.

I notice they use a fan, which is good, but do they run fairly quietly?

Do they also allow the hard drive to spin-down when not in use?
