Just to point out that you can hot-swap drives on the 3ware controller as 
well.  I'm quite liking the InClose ATA-100 bays at the moment; the 
switched power is nice, although I wish that the keys would stay in the 
locks rather than popping out.

3ware also have a list of recommended bays/pods/drawers/whatever on their
support website.
