If you are a bit handy it is very easy and cheap to make one using a SAS
adapter with 2 SAS connectors. Each of these connectors shall connect to
one SATA/SAS drive so one Adapter can drive 8 disk.

Cables that connects to the adapters SAS connector(SFF-8088 connector)
are available that splits into four standard SATA connectors all you
need is a standard PC PSU and possible fans for the drives.

The cables can only be 1 meter but that may not be a issue.
