Does this exist ? Harddrive Enclosure / Removable Tray combo.

I'm wondering if this exists. I don't recall seeing any, but I haven't been up to date for a while either.

What I'd be looking for is a hard drive tray that could be used to easily remove the drive from a case, and that just slides into an external drive enclosure effectively making it possible to swap from internal to external drive almost instantly.

There are loads of eSATA and USB docks for bare SATA drives that you could use for the external, and something like this:

for the internal...

Thanks, I didn't know they had internal trayless docks for drives. This is something I'll look into.

Not sure what size HDD you are lookig to house - but if 2.5" then these by IcyBox are ideal - no need to have seperate housing on the go just eSATA:
nb I know this is in Czech but I am sure the product is available in your location:

That's exactly what I'm looking for, but in a 3.5" format (as the price of a 2TB drive isn't that high anymore).
