Multiple Hard Drive External Enclosure

I have a Dell XPS M170 that I use for everything. I have one 500GB HD in an external enclosure, but I have filled the darn thing up. I don't want to just have a bunch of externals sitting around. I know there exists some external enclosures that allow 2-4 drives and so on, but I don't NEED the network hookups and all that.

All I want is a drive that I can put at least two drives in, has USB connectivity, and well, thats it!

If it has network connections and that, well thats fine, just want to keep the cost and size down!

Thanks
 
USB doeesn't really suit more than single drive enclosures. Firewire, SCSI and SATA are more useful in that configuration. Here are some places I found multi-drive enclosures:

Here's one but mighty expensive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16817332001

I was interested in an enclosure that held 2-4 IDE or (preferably) SATA drives, connected via Firewire, didn't cost noticeably more than buying the enclosures separately, and didn't sound like a hair dryer. That said, after searching for a while I came up empty.

EDIT: This may actually work. Lack of reviews bugs me, though.
