Dual USB 3.0 SATA Drive Enclosure

Thread Starter 
I got 2 1TB internal drives I wanna use as externals. However, I already got my 2TB Western Digital External. So I don't want 2 more separate ones. Anyone know any good dual USB 3.0 enclosures that aren't too expensive? Under $60??

Otherwise I might just try and trade 2 1TB for a 2TB.

Buying used is fine too. I want USB 3.0 because these will be used with my new Macbook Air.

Problem with that is I need it to be portable, and having the drives exposed 24/7 worries me.

You might be able to find something cheaper, but that's the kind of thing that I'd look for.

I've had a couple of those dual-bay drop-in thingies [Thermaltake], and found a couple of dislikes. The actual SATA connections within the bay are not all that
sturdy. One connection on each of two dual-bays broke, and the lands tended to get dirty resulting in spotty connectivity/drop-out/drop-in USB recognition. The
much-hyped hot swapping may wear out the landings if you swap a lot. But, also barely adequate 12vdc 3.5A power transformer. I really like the enclosed
ULTRA cases with built-in power from TigerDirect. A bit more expensive, but nooo problems yet with 6-months constant use.
