what notebook has a hdd drawer?

I used Dell XPS 1530 for couple of years.

It has a drawer that allows you to remove the hdd in a second.

Since it just died, I need something new with the same feature.

I use many operating systems for testing, I often replace hdd.

Also in my business trips I remove the disk often to store it in a hotel safe, that is to small to put the whole notebook in.

Notebooks nowadays have hdd built in so deeply that sometimes replacing it is not allowed for the user, and it has to be done by the factory service.

It can be more expensive, or totaly exotic, but I need replaceable hdd.

I would appreciate your suggestions.

    The majority of laptops have drives that can be removed in a minute or so by taking out 2 screws. You might also consider getting a hard drive caddy that replaces the optical drive on a laptop, since optical drives are rarely used these days. This would not only give you more storage, but allow you to keep your private files on one drive, but still be able to use the computer when the drive is removed.
