    I have two Glyph external drives, one SSD (Glyph Atom RAID SSD) and one HDD (Glyph Blackbox Pro). The Atom RAID simply plugs in to the computer to start up, but the Blackbox Pro has a power switch on the back to start up. Is there a way that I can power both drives on at once for when I need them? Perhaps there is a device or something I can use to switch on both at once? It's not a big deal, but I just thought it would be nice to power both on at once when I need them, rather than reach around inside my desk and plug in the RAID to the back of my computer and flick the self-powered drive's switch on/off every time. (I emailed with Glyph about leaving external drives plugged in all the time and they don't advise it, so this is why my process is to turn them on during work/off when I'm done)
