So I recently replaced my drives (4) on my main system and there they sat in my studio in a nice neat pile.
Then I found this unit for a short $213.00 online.
It works excellent and is tiny.
Has internal PS and is fan cooled with single usb or sata output.
Gotta put a handle on the top so I have an easy one handed way of picking it up.

I have a similar one by ThermalTake and it works as "linear" (shows each drive individually), "BIG" (adds all 4 drives together as one drive), "Raid1" (which if I understand it right takes drives 1&2 and makes then 1 and then drives 3&4 makes them 1 and each Pair of drives is a duplicate for backup purposes).
Since hard drives are so cheap it really isn't worth it unless your 4 drives are 500gig or more (even at that it's getting close to not worth it as Fry's had 500gig drives for $69 the other day!
I also had 8 drives of sizes 120-250 gig and an older motherboard, AMD xp64 chip, old 8600gt sound card and some other various parts from multiple upgrades so I just used them to buid a really cheap computer I use for net surfing and as a print server. The computer used 4 drives internally and I added extra IDE cards to add the other drives.

Just glad to have those drives back in service with one usb.
Tiny little thing, but has a honking fan on the back that easily removes so you can clean the intake grill.
Pretty well thought out, internal ps and fan (2).
It funny, but the thing is small enough to pick up with one hand if you can lift it.
Ordered a 4" chrome handle for the top, and looked for a case but found nothing.
It also comes in black btw, that would have been my preferrence, this case is too pretty.
One comment said it matched his mac perfectly.
