Plug and Play Hard Drive?

[Chipsahoyz]

So I've got a bit of a question. I'm looking for something that may not exist exactly as I'm describing it or even at all but I figured it's worth the question. 

 

So my dad is an aspiring photographer and he is starting to run out of space on his drives. 

I'm looking for a sort of external Hard Drive cage where you can 'plug&play' hard drives. Almost like that thing for gpu's for laptops that Linus did a review of.

So my question is, does this exist? and if so what's it called and where could I find one?

You mean an external Hard Drive?

Edit: I read that wrong. Yes those exist.

yes that's what I'm asking for I guess... and I feel kind of stupid...  but like a cage in which you can just plug and play different hard drives

There's also something like this.

But honestly, if you just need space, you're better off just buying an External HDD. Like a 3Tb

I think that might be what I'm looking for. Thank you!

No problem!

Well normally I would agree with you but my dad is working towards turning a photography hobby into a profession and each picture he takes is about 43MB per picture. At a wedding shoot he could take more than 1k pictures (In fact most pros do take a ton of pictures and just sift through them) but with a bay of hard drives he could just label the different hard drives and plug in what ever he needed
