Hi all
I'm going to upgrade my RAID array to bigger disks, and so will have 5 160GB HDDs which I want to put in a series of external HDD enclosures to use as back up drives for the main array.
So I'd really like to buy 5 external USB enclosures to house them. I could get icybox enclosures which are fanless (which is key) - but as they're only going to be active once overnight, i'd like an enclosure that powers down the disk and uses the minimum energy when not in use.

Does such an enclosure exist? And if it was cheap (as i need to buy 5 + the replacement disks!) that would be a bonus :)
