I've read good things about the CRU Dataport products, though I have no
experience with them myself.

http://www.cru-dataport.com/

They appear to have many lines, from basic plastic to aluminum and steel.  Some
of their lines include an external docking station with USB 2.0.

Another approach, though limited to firewire only (not USB - so it might not
work in your environment) but has some other benefits is the AMS Venus DS3R
two-drive unit.  I received one yesterday, plan to work with it a bit next week
to see how it works as a backup device.

It's ~$150 for the unit, ~$20 per tray (aluminum which is a plus, but it leaves
one side of drive exposed, so not really handbag compatible).  The best part is
that it includes a built in hardware RAID-1 function. It also includes
RAID-0/SPAN/JBOD.  Recent revisions are controlled via dip switches on the unit
instead of software that bit twiddles over firewire - you want this more recent
version.

The DS3R might be handy in some situations, such as keeping a current on-site
backup, plus an off-site one?
