Ok I decided to pass on the 24" iMac I thought I was going to buy and go with a Mac Pro, thus replacing my PC. It has 3 ATA drives in it... not SATA

1x40gb
1x120gb
1x160gb

I thinkt he 40 is going to be used for BootCamp and playing the few games I do play on the computer these days. Waiting for that Wii. ;)

But I'd like to use the 120 and 160 for storage of music and movies on the Mac Pro. My ideal solution is an external USB/FW enclosure that handles Drive Sleds. By Sleds I mean the same type of setup in the Mac Pro where they slide in and out easily without wires in their little sleds. Only I want this in an external enclosure (1 or 2 drives... bonus if I can do hardware RAID with two drives). I don't mind buying an extra sled if it's a one drive setup.

Any recommendations? I've found internal bays that allow this but nothing external.
