I think hot-swap is supported by sata itself (I mean hardware side), similar |

as for usb: grounding pins are longer, i.e. you can just simply pull out |
| 9 |
power-cable and then data-cable even while your server is on. Or you can |
| 10 |
buy special swappable enclosures for sata-disk, which is mounted in free |
| 11 |
external 5 1/4" position (e.g. from ViPowER SwapRack) and easily pull out |
| 12 |
sata disk from your server... |
