I typically like to use 2-drive array enclosures like this with my own raw drives. Total cost for 4TB would be about $340 or you can have OWC install drives for $380 (less than half price than CalDigit and $180 less that G-Tech):

This is the quad-port docking station that will allow attaching a raw drive to eSata (for very high speed transfer) or FW800/400/USB port on a Mac tower:

This is a 4-drive array that allows RAID 5:
