I use flat angle brackets from the hardware store. I can't remember if I get the 1.5" or the 2". Just get four of them, and screw them onto the sides of the drives. This will hold one drive above the other with a gap depending on the size of bracket you bought. These are the flat L shaped (equal leg length) pieces of metal about 1/2" wide with holes in the legs for screws. You can also just get straight (rectangular) flat metal bits with the screw holes. I can't remember why I use the 'L' shaped ones, but there was some reason at the time....
