In my research for my new server I have come to realize that a SAS raid card with a SAS backplane hosting SATA drives might be a really good way to go. There are tons of different SAS backplane enclosures though. Several of them have really poor ratings on newegg and such.
I think I'm going to get one that supports 5 drives and fits into the 5.25 bays on a tower.

(some of them I found)
Anyone have recommendations? Links to reviews they found useful?
