Yes! That’s exactly what I had—I couldn’t remember the model number, but as soon as you wrote it, everything flooded back. Mine was a bare drive, and I installed it in a cheap case I found somewhere that had room (and power and cooling) for five full-height drives. It wasn’t exactly quiet. 
And I had to add a SCSI card and build a cable.
I was thinking that too, but then figured that RAID wasn’t really a backup and decided not to wade into the weeds.
