That thing i understand it has a tray for the hdd. I need something without a tray (like my first pic), so i can take out the hdd and plug another one, without fitting it in a tray every time...

I'm not aware of a trayless hot swap bay that has a switch. This has been asked so many times in this forum - why do you need a switch?
This unit might do that,

Other than that, good luck finding a trayless with a button. btw, if you are not using the drive, just pull the tray handle?

Because i don't want to take out the drive everytime i want it off. Just push a button to turn on, make backups, push button to turn off. When i want to change it with another drive (i have several offline hdds), just pull it out and swap it. Just like i do with my external hdd dock (the ones that look like a toaster). To save space and get rid of one power cord, i thought it's better to have it in my pc, an internal hdd dock. No luck it seems.

Well then go with sleds. You can buy extra sleds, mount all your drives in them. Not only do you get the power button, but you get the security of a sled (flat alloy bottom protects the drive).
