Portable Hard Drive Solutions?

[576316]

Hey lovely people of MacRumors! Something's been bothering me for a while so I've decided to turn to you guys to see if we can share any experiences/products which might help with my particular situation.

I have three portable USB 3.0 hard drives which I don't attach regularly but still need to have close by. Right now, I have them stacked vertically with my books on my desk but this doesn't look tidy. I've been trying to think of other portable hard drive solutions and searching the Internet for tidies or little hard drives shelves or anything, to no avail. So I guess my question to you guys is, what do you do with your portable hard drives and are there any products you can suggest which might help me tidy them away more effectively on my desk?

You can just go to a crafts store or furniture store or something like that and get some small desktop drawers; it doesnt have to be specific to hard drives.

Mine are kept in a cabinet on in my fire proof file cabinet. I use a desk that's built into some cabinets so I have plenty of storage available.

Aha yes. I know of stuff like that. I really don't use these HDDs much. But that link could be a good Time Machine solution, although 64GB is a little small for a back up drive.

Leave them stacked in a pile.

What matters is that they run properly when needed -- much more so than what they look like stacked up!
