I have an empty 3.5 inch drive bay (4" across) on my desktop machine and was wondering if they make such a thing as a hot swap bay that would fit into that space, that fits laptop-size hard drives (of which I have several, collected from laptops I have owned over the years.)
Is it possible to include that bay in the bootup sequence? For example, if the machine has a Windows hard drive installed internally for use most of the time, but I want to throw a Linux drive into the hot swap bay occasionally, would I be able to boot off the Linux hot swapped drive without having to go into the BIOS or use a bootloader?
Appreciate any answers...and any links to a suitable hot swap bay for this empty 3.5" space.
Thank you!!
