Hard drive power switcher

are there any decent hdd power switchers to able to boot 2 different OS, (dont want software option).

the ones on bigriver seem to get bad reviews

You could consider using hotswap with a 5.25 mobile rack instead if slotting drives in and out is feasible.

Not ideal but they don't come with spare caddys unless u leave one out of system

If you have 2x 5.25 bays spare, 2 single racks with power switches(some provide that) would mean never needing to pull one.

I used to have 5.25 caddys
That you could lock/unlock/power on/off
With a key though why the need to
Power one drive off?
That's what boot menus are for

As stated, doesn't want a software option.
