Most USB2.0 drive 'bays' will work, however be aware:
Many of the drive 'bays' apparently only work with a DOS MBR. I found this
out when setting up some 80GB drives for BU. (Without a DOS MBR, they
failed to detect properly, under Windoze and OBSD.)
The drives had to have a DOS MBR, which could then be partitioned
and sliced for OBSD (no DOS partition required, just the MBR). It was also
tricky to format the drives - I had to format them directly (3.5" drives),
*then* install them in the USB carrier bay.
