Connecting/disconnecting Seagate HDDs.
=?Utf-8?B?QW5kcmV3IEUu?= écrivait
: In most cases,very few desktop boards (pcs),have the ability for hot-plugging...Even if the SATA hd might have such a connection,the MB would determine if its available,read the owners manual..Hot plugging really is only used by server boards that have 6 or more hd running,if one goes out,another is plugged-in,the board,software,& a array of hds. I thought most modern/recent motherboards should support hot plug SATA drive with the right OS (Vista/Seven) When I click on the "Remove Hardware" icon on my Core2Quad running Seven, all USB and SATA hard drives show up for disconnection even internal ones, there are 4 SATA and 2 PATA HD in that machine. The motherboard is an Asus P5Q which I think is a "consumer" board. On the other hand I have a P4 with XP and I installed an eSATA backplate, on that one I can fire up an external SATA HD and XP recognizes it but I wouldn't turn it off without shutting down the computer because hot plug is not supported on that machine and external SATA HD don't show up when I click the "Remove Hardware" icon.
