I'm abandoning my HP micro server.
I'd like to put it's 3 hard drives in my tower PC for archiving
purposes, along with the existing drives.
Is there a way to have these extra drives be running only when
required, in a switch-on-able, switch-offable way?

Thanks for the advice.
I went for this one
There are 2 ways:
One would unfortunately involve an external drive box, such as

to share something that means it runs at 3 GB/s rather than 6 GB/s.
Mine arrives tomorrow. What are the chances that I'll be a able to
turn off or eject any one or more of the 4 drives without having to
pulll the plug on all of them?

I haven't tried that I must admit, it disconnects in a couple of seconds
when you press the eject button. The drives are treated as external drives (actually that's logical) and so they appear in the "Safely remove hardware.." icon - and in the send to context menu. Anything there that helps?

How do you reconnect them when you want them?
