Clarence,

What do you mean by "hot-swappable"? My DataStors have a on/off switch but I was under the impression that I would need a special (IDE) controller to actually add/remove drives while the computer was running.

I did not test this assumption, thinking that powering on the drive while running may injure the drive, yes/no?

I would love to be wrong about this.
