What cards are people who are doing devel work using? Since so many are "no name" or not identified as a brand on many online stores, can someone post store and model info?

I'm planning on using one enclosure to share my CD-R drive amongst machines, and using the other for a hard drive (for backup purposes at home). Is this a bad idea?
