- Rosewill 5-Bay Hard Drive eSATA Enclosure for $166 (repost)
Back again is the Rosewill eSATA 5-Bay Hard Drive Enclosure.
Price is $166 after starting at $200, coupon ROSEWILL826 gives $50 off, and shipping adds $16.
It's an external hard drive bay, to let you add a bunch of Serial-ATA (SATA) disks individually (JBOD) or as a RAID array.
Since the drive bay works through a single eSATA port from you computer, the port must be a "multi-port eSATA" capable of supporting 5 drives from a single eSATA cable.
They did throw in a PCIe x1 card with two eSATA ports each capable of multi-port.
The unit has very good reviews.
A-Data 16GB Secure Digital SDHC Memory Card for $28.
Most 16GB SDHC Cards go for around $33, and this one has mostly good reviews.
When using in a digital camera, depending on camera type, settings, and photo quality, roughly 350 to 550 photos can be stored per GB, so this 16 GB card can store somewhere around 5,600 to 8,800 photos.

- Rosewill 4-Bay Hard Drive eSATA Enclosure for $100 (expired)
This looks like a great deal, and very similar to a recent deal on a Rosewill 5-Bay Enclosure.
This is a Rosewill eSATA 4-Bay Hard Drive Enclosure for $100, valid through this evening only.
It is meant for adding up to 4 Serial-ATA (SATA) disks to your computer as a bunch of disks, or as a RAID array.
Includes a PCIe x1 card capable of multi-port eSATA (Port Multiplying eSATA), works with Windows and Linux, and has very good reviews.
You must use a multi-port eSATA such as the one on the included card, because your motherboard's SATA and eSATA ports will not connect to all 4 drives from a single port.
The 4-bay enclosure itself will work with Linux and Windows, and can work with any other operating system such as Mac and Solaris, as long as you find a compatible eSATA Port Multiplier card and drivers.
The disks can appear as either a bunch of separate drives, or used in a software RAID configuration.
Software RAID requires the operating system to boot and set up its drivers before recognizing the RAID array.
If you lose the operating system, you risk losing the entire RAID array.
If you want RAID and your data really is important to you, replace the included PCIe card with a hardware RAID card capable of eSATA Port Multiplying, such as a Highpoint RocketRAID 622 PCIe Card.
