Recommendations for external native SATA drive enclosures

[quietdragon]

I'm contemplating a new Mini ITX system with externally mounted hard drives to make drive servicing simpler. I run a simple Linux RAID-1 system comprising two drives.

I don't want an enclosure with built-in USB or RAID functionality.

I think what I'm looking for is something like this:

I'm not familiar with these vendors. Has anyone dealt with them before?

Features I'm looking for:

• Good ventilation with space for a large fan and good airflow
• Support for SATAII (and eSATA perhaps)
• Separate connection for (at least) two drives

Any suggestions as to products I should consider?
