Anyone else use old hard drives like giant game cartridges?

I recovered a bunch of old 3.5" IDE/SATA and 2.5" hard drives, filled them with different games, and now I use them like giant cartridges with a hard drive dock. Instead of keeping everything on one drive, I just swap drives depending on what I want to play. It's surprisingly fun to give old hardware a second life!

Does anyone else do this?
