External Enclosures that hold more than one drive??

[Mark Morb]

Hi,

I'm about to ditch my PC and buy an iMac. I have two extra internal SATA harddrives in my PC and I would like to use them on the mac. I could buy 2 external SATA enclosures but they are quite expensive (at least for FW800). Does anyone know if you can buy an enclosure that takes more than one Disk? I've had a look around and can't find one...

Thanks,
Mark Morb

Try here to get ideas of what may work for you and if you see anything you like then shop around other places like newegg etc.

OWC has a wide variety of external FW enclosures. I bought the enclosure only and added my own drives. They make versions with built-in RAID 1 as well.

there are a couple on neweggs, and they ain't cheap either.

depending on what you want to do, it might be more cost-effective to keep your pc as a file server and network it w/ your mac.
