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 ?
