Need advise about what enclosure to purchase so we can read our archived assets on JB at DVinfo.net

I need a two to four bay hard drive bay (doesns't have to be a raid, just JBOD) that is hot swappable and has firewire. Anyone have any recommendations? I need something high quality, not something like an ICYdock. I thought the CalDigit two bay enclosure would work great, but if I use our archived drives, then the Warranty is void. Has anyone used a brand specific hot swappable enclosure like LaCie or CalDigit? Did you have any problems. I am ok with voiding the warrenty as long as I can find some references of people having success using alternate drives.
