    Another idea could be to connect both disks normally but have a switch on the power line of both (if you are willing to make circuits yourself)

    Edit: I come up with a circuit that probably explains better what i want to do

    yea, i know they can be relatively inexpensive. but i saw them as a waste of money--which was and still is in short supply.

    nearly everything i have as far as pc stuff was salvaged or given to me. the last things i bought myself was 24tb of hdds for media storage (when they were still 'cheap'), replacing a literal laundry basket of small (160gb-2tb) 2.5in, 3.5in and externals that was getting to be an unmanageable mess.
