I'm using three of these in mine.

Newegg.com - KINGWIN KF-1000-BK 3.5" Internal hot swap rack

Easy way to backup my entire data drive. Just plug a backup drive in, click the backup script, and back to the safe when done.

I went the server route, since we use multiple computers.

Acer Windows Home Server

Inside it are three additional Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB Drives for 8TB total that multiple computers can work off of.

Thanks for the link Mike, but I am trying to get 4 drives into the space of where three would be mounted.

thanks Thomas and Paco, but already have a case and controller card for my drives just looking to expand it, have two more SATA ports open on my controller card, just don't have the chasis room...So I figured if I had a Multi-bay drive cage I can collapse an area from six drives to 8 drives!
