[offlist - but reply onlist if you prefer] > I have my HDDs mounted in removable racks. What hardware have you used for this exactly? Stand-alone, or e.g. in a tower case? I've been thinking about doing something similar, but it's either not quite there or very expensive. Thanks, Volker A tower case with three removable HDD racks plus optical drive.  There are no internally mounted HDDs.  The racks are wired in as if they were HDDs. The 'normal' system uses two racks.  One for the os the second for backups.  When testing a distro unplug the 'normal' HDDs and plug in a spare drive. This system has saved my bacon several times. The latest being when my wifes machine packed a sad a couple of weeks ago I pulled her HDD out of the rack on her machine (I use her machine for testing too) and plugged it into mine. I have had these racks for years (10?) and I have no idea of their availability now.
