I hope zp reads this...I'll post to him if he doesn't appear.

I am here..busy trying to spec some harddrives..not for me.

I am guessing hot swapping will work in Win95 and maybe NT... SCSI and IDE under special circumstances without software.

It is easy enough to find out. I have both and SCSI and IDE removable trays en route. (ANTEC IDE and SCSI from buy.com and IDE from DSTOR ..ONSALE just emailed me saying the DSTORs are on the way)

If a drive is already recognized in the boot process..I cannot see why powering the drive off and replacing it with an identical drive would not work. I am sure there are some caveats. I would not want to try it with the boot drive. A second or third drive with no open files is what I will try first. NT has the additional Disk manager issue. I recall NT wanted to mark a drive in Disk Administrator.

Rounding out our superior line of external enclosures is the newest line to the DataStor family - "DataTransSM" Removable Trays. We are proud to announce these brand new additions to our mass storage line.Each of these removable trays are hot swappable, and each comes with its very own receiving frame and hardware for a fast and complete installation. Additionally, unlike our competitor's trays, each of our removable trays comes with a built in cooling fan system. In fact, our Ultra Wide SCSI III 68 pin models come with TWO cooling fans to ensure that even the fastest and hottest drives will stay nice and cool.
