hay guys i have about 5-6 IDE hard drives that i use. i am fed up with having to open my computer every time i want to swap 1 of my hard drives. i have been looking at hard drive racks, but i cant seem to find 1 that suits my need, so i am here asking if anyone has a solution or can help me find what im looking for

my motherboard has 2 IDE ports 1 of them is used by my CD drives the other is used by my 2 main IDE hard drives (i use these daily contain music, vids, ect)
Ok so what id like is a hard drive rack that is IDE to SATA cause i have 4 SATA ports 2 being used
(the tray would have to be IDE. the tray would connect to the rack via IDE, or some proprietary connection, and from the rack to SATA.
is this at all passable?
if not anyone got any other ideas?
