I am looking for an external hard drive that contains two 1TB hard drives that I can put in RAID 1 and has at least one USB connection and one eSATA connection. I have looked on Newegg and found one thing that may be of help but I'm not sure because the description is very vague and there is only one review.

Is that what I'm looking for and if not can you guys please suggest a product. Thanks.
 
I think you're looking for something like this?

They have several models in lower capacities without the eSATA interface.

If you are the DIY type, just look for an external enclosure that supports RAID1 and has two bays, then add hard drives.

Sans Digital has several multi-drive enclosures that support RAID functions.

Thanks a lot for all the help. Now just need to decide if I want to get the Western Digital which would be easier or get this along with another 1tb hard drive because I already have one. I think I may go with the Sans Digital though. Thanks again.
 
I just don't know if I could justify the extra $70 when the reviews are similar except the Icy Dock had a few reviews that said it has a noisy fan and that is something I really want to avoid. Most of the reviews for the Sans Digital said the fan was not bad.
