Do you need to switch the computer off to plug the HD?
I could imagine that this isn't the best solution for all people.
I remember a german computer vendor "VOBIS" having 5 1/4 cases and
removeable HD to plug in / out. I think it wasn't the great success (never
saw them again).
What about DDT-2/3 ?
