We get this now in a 2u or 3u case w/ both PATA and SATA.  PATA isn't exactly 
hot swappable, but it they are in removable sleds.  SATA is fully hot 
swappable.  the 3u chassis we use houses 16 drives.  Why go external, and 
incur further points of failure when you can consolidate it into one chassis?
