I think your best bet may be a set of Firewire enclosures.  

If there is hardware out there rugged enough to hot-swap drives in trays
daily (e.g,. with a SCSI or SATA backplane), I expect it will be at a
much higher price-point (both for the hot-swap equipment, and for the
flavor of drives it requires) than equivalent commodity Firewire
hardware.
