I have reached the stage on my home server where I need more drives :D
I was thinking of buying a 2port e-sata card, with the port multiplier as in an ideal world Id like to add more drives in the future. I don't really know about e-sata and port multipliers so I have a few questions

Am I right in thinking that with e-sata I can have upto 5 drives per port?

Where is a good place to go for the drive enclosures/caddies - are they powered separately - ideally Id like a 5 drive bay that I can connect to the stata card

Are Rosewill still considered any good - Im not interested in RAID or anything, I just want something that will allow me to add upto 10 drives to my WHS2011

Thx
