You can look up hard drive enclosures. They are common. It will be a plastic box, and a power supply and the connectors. You will need to get cables as well most likely.
That way you can just turn it on when you need it.
Be 100% is is a USB 3.0 or 3.1 if you have the 3.1 connector on your computer. Do NOT even buy a USB 2.0 enclosure. That is so slow as to be useless.
The are cheap. And it will let you easily turn it off, and put it in the closet or someplace out of the way when you don't need it.
