My recollection of my understanding (multiple disclaimers) was that SATA *allowed* for SATA hot-plugging but didn't *mandate* it. |

If I could have found a SATA motherboard &/or controller with multiple ports that supported SATA hot-plugging then, when I built my storage server, I would have bought that and saved myself quite a bit of money against the hardware RAID card I bought instead. The impression I got when reading, however, was that many SATA ports can be hot-plugged, but their manufacturers don't explicitly state the fact, so one can't be 100% sure it's safe to do so. |
