Mediasonic ProBox, $99. Low end USB3/eSATAp 4 drive box. With 4 drives in it RAIDed using Disk Utility I get 220MB/sec Read and 225MB/sec Write. Internal connections are apparently SATA-II in this older enclosure as my 5TB Seagates individually get about 180 MB/sec R&W using the USB connection but my recent SSD only got about 120 MB/sec R&W (it doesn't negotiate the SATAII properly so dumbs all the way down to SATA-I).
There is a newer version which states SATA-III compatibility, I suppose that should mean a higher top throughput but who knows. I have 3 of the older ProBoxes, BTW. Hardware redundancy!
