Hi all, >Does anyone know a reason it wouldn't work? I'd never trust the data stored on a harddisk pulled out without shutting down anything on a running windows system. Be careful: "Hot swappable" means that the electricity involved (harddisk, controller) does not get harmed by hot swapping disks. It does NOT mean data consistence in swapping at arbitrary stages of the file system.
