I've been using this bridgeboard...

...for over a year now. I currently have two 3TB HDs in a RAID-1 
configuration hooked up to it.

It's designed to go right into a case that had the old Centronics 50-pin 
SCSI connectors. Which is the type of case I used. Found one with a 1 GB 
5.25" full height HD, so the power supply should be perfectly capable of 
running two 3.5" HDs and the bridgeboard.

They have a similar model that supports SATA Port Multipliers so you 
could easily hook up multiple drives if you had the right case.
