[Eug-lug] Hot-plugging SATA

[Allen Brown]

The connectors on a SATA drive have offset pins.  They appear to
be designed for hot-plugging.  This is an *internal* drive connector.
I have researched topics I could find via google.  I've never heard
of anyone having trouble hot-plugging SATA.  And the following
article implies that any SATA hardware should be able to be
hot-plugged without damage.

Have any of you done this?  Anybody hear of troubles doing it?
