I am not sure why you would want and external enclosure instead of
mounting the drives inside the PC. But if that is your chosen
configuration you will find that external drive enclosures offer no less
performance than mounting drives internally providing you buy a good
quality eSATA controller card, cabling and enclosure etc.
You will only reap the benefits of a 2 drive eSATA RAID by using an
eSATA controller. Avoid FW400/FW800 and USB solutions as they will have
a detrimental impact on performance.
Personally I would mount the drives inside the PC and run them off the
internal SATA connections. If you are worried that using your PC for
internet access might put your data at risk then buy good virus and
security software. Alternatively buy a Mac.
