Hot-swappable adapter for HDDs?

Hey, is there an adapter out there that I could use to make my hard drives hot-swappable?

My new case (Corsair 280x) has two easily removable 3.5" drive bays in the back but, they don't have special connectors for hot-swapping which is a bit weird.

 

I'm using two WD10EZEX hard drives at the moment. In case that matters.

sata to usb

Wouldn't that mean performance loss?

The case doesn't have a 5.25" bay so I'm out of luck there.

If possible, I'd like to do this inside the case because I'm already running low on desk space.

Just asking, you never know. Haven't used an external dock or anything like that before so, I can't compare.
