This looks like what you're talking about:

I can't help but think you would be better off, though, to just buy a
large hard drive and copy what you needed onto it. How many and how
large are your extra hard drives? |

USB 2.0 enclosures can be had for $15... Why not just buy a few and mount
the drives in them. Works great here! |

What he said! I've got three old 200gB drives installed in identical
inexpensive enclosures and use them for backup, rotating them in and out
of my bank's vault as often as I remember to do so.
But if you just _must_ have multiple drives online at one time more
expensive enclosures are available (much more expensive!). Here is one
example http://www.cooldrives.com/trdubayusb20.html but this site and
others offer similar external enclosures for up to 4 drives IIRC.
