Are there any hard drive enclosures that support multiple hard drives?

I'm looking for an external hard drive enclosure that would be able to accomadate 2 or more IDE drives.
 
Those are ridiculously expensive. There was a recent thread here that covered the topic thoroughly. Just browse thru the first few pages and you'll find it. Actually it was in the Gen Hardw. section: Linkage

Most are FW because USB can't daisy-chain. And now some eSATA can be found.

duct tape + some sort of usb hub + small power supply.
😉

If you're feeling adventurous, I'm sure you can make something out of pieces of wood. lol.

I think external Sata is probably a better idea.
 
There are also stackable drive cases. And this Firewaire case can accommodate many HDDs as long as you have trays for them. They are hot swappable and can be popped in and out. The price is not a deal buster either.
