Dock station.
There are also 5-inch devices that you can insert screws into - they cling directly to sata.

They are called "hard drive docking stations" or Hot-Swap Hard Drive Docking Station
Although hard drives can be hot connected/disconnected in the docking station, of course you shouldn't do that, hard drives don't like to be touched during operation. Therefore, even in the docking station, the disk must first be removed in the system, then turn off the power and wait until the motor stops.
