You could also go for a bunch of FW400 or 800 enclosures daisy chained but those cost more than basic esata controllers with a splitter card.
Depending on the speed you require, if FW400 would be adequate, those cases are about 10-15 bucks more than a comparable esata one where as the FW800 ones cost an arm and a leg.

I did a bit more reading on the net and it is possible to split sata connection but it would required a port multiplier which cost about $100 and the express card has to support port multiplier as well

I think i will ended up buying a single sata case with hot swap function.... and build a HTPC / server in the end.

I did consider raid 0 but 3TB is a lot of data and it cost quite a lot to back up those data. Unless the price of 1TB drive drops, I will just back up some of the important data.

I would recommend one of this:

I just swap in a new HD when the old one is full.

Card reader/usb hub/how swap/esata ?

I think i'll ahve to grab one of those.

I am getting one now! Thats cool.

I dont know how much I like the idea of leaving HDD's out in the open good way to damage them, but I needed a card reader for my CF card in my camera as the USB transfer is slow and just waisting my x266 card I bought.

But this will come in handy one day when doing computer work I just know it.

Im a good deal hunter so I found this code: EDEALINFO

10% off any order there except special marked items. Cut like 3$ off the cost so that helps to cover the $10 shipping.

I'll have to do a user review of this thing when it gets herein 4-6 days lol.
