What is Hot Plug and Hot Swap?
If the SATA / SATA2 / SATA3 HDDs are NOT set for RAID, it is
called "Hot Plug" for the action to insert and remove the SATA /
SATA2 / SATA3 HDDs while the system is still powered on and in
working condition. If the HDDs are set for RAID then it is called
"Hot Swap". However, please note that it cannot perform Hot Plug
or Hot Swap if the OS has been installed into the SATA / SATA2 /
SATA3 HDD.
