http://www.scan.co.uk/ have various RocketRAIDs in their Today Only 
section currently.

Highpoint sell a caddy called a HighPoint RocketMate 110 which is 
intended to allow the hot swapping of IDE drives.

Lance, which controller only supports two drives? I would think most 
would allow the use of 4 drives for two RAID1 mirrors.
