only provided for drives that can be safely removed without creating an
inoperable unit. (For example, a RAID 5 missing 2 or more drives or a RAID
0 missing 1 or more drives would become inoperable.) If you remove a drive

Warning:
Physically removing drives which are not in hot swap bays can result in
a system hang, data loss, or may even damage the system and the drive.
