Eagle Tech ET-CSMDSU2-BK 3.5” SATA to USB Multitasking Dual Bay Hard Drive Enclosure

altFor quite some time USB drive enclosures have been available, and come in most shapes and sizes imaginable but the none offer the ability to house two hard drives simultaneously nor offer the ability to hot swap each of the drives.
