If your case has free 5¼″ slots, you could consider getting a hot swap bay.
There are models for a single 3.5″ drive, with or without a second 2.5″
slot.
It would require one free internal SATA port per bay, though.
For giggles: there is space for up to 8! 2.5″ slots in a single 5¼″ bay:

Or how about 8 × M.2? :D :D https://global.icydock.com/product_363.html
I have one of those: <https://en.sharkoon.com/product//12640>. Due to its
integrated USB 3, I bought a case with only USB 2 at the front, so the two
complemented each other nicely. (There was a newer version of the case with
USB 3¹, but in only one of the two sockets. What are manufacturers thinking?
USB 2 and 3 connectors on a mobo always come in pairs, but that way they had
to use two cables in a rather low-budget case).
