External USB 3.0 RAID enclosures

Currently my case looks like a mess inside since it's rather small and the space is limited (I've stuffed it). So I've been looking external RAID cases but there doesn't seem to be anything that would allow to get the maximum out of USB 3.0. I would be using RAID 0 with three Samsung 1TB disks. Currently I get around 400MB/s read and write speeds when working with large files so many SATA 3Gb/s port multiplier USB 3.0 raid cases would cause bottleneck even though they would be fine otherwise. Is there anything sanely priced that would do the trick or should I just get better case? (Though it would be nice to get more SATA ports freed for possible larger SSDs in the future).
 
I've had shitty luck with external RAID cases. Tried a few of the well known (Mediasonic and SANS Digital) and they both sucked. I do not recommend.
 
I probably just have to abandon that plan. It doesn't look like there are good alternatives. Larger case feels like better alternative.
