Like Adaptec is in the business of making drive enclosures themselves.
They just resell someone else's at a price premium for having the
Adaptec badge on it. So you don't actually 'get what you pay for'.

Hello, Andrew:

You >can< get nice deals, on most anything, provided you use common
sense and refrain from "impulse buying." Do your share of research,
both on and off the 'Net, and scour eBay <http://www.ebay.com>, for
secondhand merchandise.

Gold is where you find it! ;-)
