Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Does anyone make a high quality eSATA enclosure? I honestly don't even care if it's hot swap. I do not want a SATA to USB enclosure because I do not want an ASmedia or JMicron controller. I just want a backplane and an eSATA (or Mini SAS) connector. I am aware that Synology makes something like this, but I think their connector is proprietary. OWC makes some thunderbolt enclosures with in Intel chipset, but the design spec also includes a JMicron controller so I question the reliability.
