Default External Drive Dock to Allow Hotswap SCSI to Attach by USB?

What is the need in this?

SCSI drives are much more expensive.

I have existing servers that use SCSI drives. I want to make mirrors of
those existing SCSI drives to identical SCSI drives for backups, without the
hassle of having to prepare those backup drives into a hotswap tray, then
remove them from the tray later.

NewerTech make a product named Voyager Q to interface SATA drives to a

host
by USB, Firewire, or eSATA. This is sometimes called a "drive toaster"
because of the way you can mount a drive vertically into the enclosure
without the need for any tray. Does anyone make something similar for a
hotswap SCSI drive? It would be incredibly useful for forensics and the
occasional drive backup to be able to just slip a hotswap SCSI drive into
the vertical slot and hot plug it to the host.
