Chuck might be right.
And if you keep the bare drives, you could use one of those (relatively
inexpensive) drive docks to access it every now and then. I have a (relatively
expensive) Firewire one, but my wife's Mac Mini uses a USB one like this:

I couldn't find a NZ Amazon, but the picture and price should be indicative,
wherever you buy one.
As for disappearing files. I generally find that I have deleted files that I
can't find. But I do do find them on my backups (3 x). You could use a new,
bare, drive in the dock as a backup system -- as recommended by Moose some time
ago . . .
