Some companies such as WD have been packaging up enterprise drives in the
external enclosures. This means you can buy a much better drive (esp for a NAS)
 for much cheaper than normal. ...but they've caught on to people doing this,
so started modding the drives to have a quirky connection. ...but people have
worked around this as well. 

/r/datahorder on Reddit is a great resource for this stuff BTW. Also unRAID and
 FreeNAS forums.
