- Rosewill 4-Bay Hard Drive eSATA Enclosure for $100 (expired)
This looks like a great deal, and very similar to a recent deal on a Rosewill 5-Bay Enclosure.
This is a Rosewill eSATA 4-Bay Hard Drive Enclosure for $100, valid through this evening only.
It is meant for adding up to 4 Serial-ATA (SATA) disks to your computer as a bunch of disks, or as a RAID array.
Includes a PCIe x1 card capable of multi-port eSATA (Port Multiplying eSATA), works with Windows and Linux, and has very good reviews.
You must use a multi-port eSATA such as the one on the included card, because your motherboard's SATA and eSATA ports will not connect to all 4 drives from a single port.
The 4-bay enclosure itself will work with Linux and Windows, and can work with any other operating system such as Mac and Solaris, as long as you find a compatible eSATA Port Multiplier card and drivers.
The disks can appear as either a bunch of separate drives, or used in a software RAID configuration.
Software RAID requires the operating system to boot and set up its drivers before recognizing the RAID array.
If you lose the operating system, you risk losing the entire RAID array.
If you want RAID and your data really is important to you, replace the included PCIe card with a hardware RAID card capable of eSATA Port Multiplying, such as a Highpoint RocketRAID 622 PCIe Card.
HDHomerun Dual HDTV Tuner with Networking for $100.
Allows watching of up to 2 digital channels at once on your computers, or use with Tivo-like software to also record.
Works with over-the-air (ATSC) antennas, and also works on unscrambled channels on conventional digital coax cable systems.
Will not work with satellite, ethernet-based, and DSL-based cable systems such as DirecTV, Dish Network, AT&T U-Verse, and Verizon Fios.
Western Digital 150GB 10,000rpm Serial-ATA Hard Drive for $100 ($0.67/GB).
10,000rpm drives are meant for increased performance.
Note that some SSD drives give better read/write performance than a pair of 10,000rpm drives in RAID-0, so despite SSDs going for around $1.50 to $2.00 per GB, 10,000rpm drives are less desired items than they were just a few months ago.

- Rosewill 5-Bay Hard Drive eSATA Enclosure for $150 (expired)
Rosewill eSATA 5-Bay Hard Drive Enclosure for $150 with coupon EMCYWZY85 .
This is meant for adding a bunch of Serial-ATA (SATA) disks or a RAID array to your computer.
Includes a PCIe x1 card capable of multi-port eSATA (Port Multiplying eSATA), works with Windows and Linux, and has very good reviews.
Regular eSATA ports, such as the ones included on your computer's motherboard, will not connect to all 5 drives.
The 5-bay enclosure itself will work with Linux and Windows, and can work with any other operating system such as Mac and Solaris, as long as you find a compatible eSATA Port Multiplier card and drivers.
The disks can appear as a bunch of regular drives, or used in a software RAID configuration.
Software RAID requires the operating system to boot and set up its drivers before recognizing the RAID array.
If you lose the operating system, you risk losing the entire RAID array.
If you want RAID and your data really is important to you, replace the included PCIe card with a hardware RAID card capable of eSATA Port Multiplying, such as a Highpoint RocketRAID 622 PCIe Card.
