TestFreaks posted a review on the Patriot Gauntlet USB 3.0 2.5 HDD Enclosure PCGT25S

The Gauntlet is extremely well made of aluminum, it looks great and it’s inexpensive when compared to others, even those that are no-name or generic brands. Included with the enclosure is an extra USB power cable in case you might need it and the enclosure even has a backup button on it to be used in conjunction with the included software to make your backups quick and easy.

The setup can be used for raid, or you can just use it as a hot swap rack to quickly and easily switch drives and transfer data to and from places. The cage itself is very nicely made, each bay locks individually and there's even two 40mm cooling fans built right in to keep things nice and cool.
