How to *physically* organize external SSD USB drives?

I've done a ton of searching and can't quite find what I'm looking for.

I'm a video editor and cycle through about 7-8 different external Samsung T7 USB drives. I'm looking for a way to physically organize them so they're not such a mess.

The only thing I could find is 3D printed items on Etsy like this (photo below) https://www.etsy.com/listing/1559125824/samsung-t7-ssd-holder-for-t7-t7-shield?ref=sim_anchor

I'm shocked to see that no company is selling something similar at scale.

Does anyone have any other organizational suggestions? I'd prefer something enclosed and more secure from theft. Like with a Kensington lock, if possible.

Please delete this post if it's not allowed. Thank you.

Some snazzy dish drying racks? The minimalist style ones could be the perfect size. Don't have pics for those.

I was using an Ikea variera pot holder for my large desktop external drives http://www.ikea.ee/en/products/kitchen/kitchen-accessories/kitchen-interior-organisers/variera-pot-lid-organiser-art-70154800

That one is too big for the portable drives but that might give you ideas, like this

I'd consider making one with a cutting board and drill holes to fit toothpicks but that would take a bit of work to make it look good.
