Here's a project that I spent a weekend on... I call it the Swapstr. It's a small form factor SFF by HP. The Elitedesk 800 G3 65w I believe...
I modified it to accept the new CF-Express B digital photo cards as a sort of swappable, bootable drive bay. It's supposed to have PCI express speeds although I can't verify this even with speed tests, but it was challenging and novel all at the same time. Now I can swap out different nostr and Linux distro tests/experiments without disassembling the case and connections every time.
It's not truly hot swap, but cold swap is good enough for my purposes... It is trayless! I guess I was yearning for the olden days of 3.5" floppy disks.
