Rather than removable drive carriers, consider eSATA. It's the actual

You need to be careful how you use these ... I've read somewhere (don't remember where) that some onboard SATA controllers may not be able to handle the hotplug aspect.

I think my two Dell SC servers specifically state they don't support hotplug ... but that could be Dell's CYA statement in case a drive gets fried.

However, I'm not 100% sure about this.
