I have an external USB HDD cache from SNT whose model also includes a
fan for the enclosed drive. for home use the unit is great and just
works. On the enterpeose side you could always look into a Drobo as it
is a RAID like array but without the limitations of RAID. I would love
to get one for home but the price tag is a little steep.
