[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 831645, member: 48483"] I know of many ways and products to do this to bare 2.5 inch HDDs, but I have not seen this done commercially with stand alone drives in enclosures. Do you plug them in all at once (maybe through a USB hub)? I personally don't see an issue with stacking on each other directly if only 1 at a time is actually being used. All spinning at once, I see the concern over heat. Here is what I see for bare drives. That is easy to engineer as the 2.5 inch drive is standardized. But the enclosed USB drives have no standard size with each other.
