Hi Bryan! I should also mentions that the drives are installed in removabl drive bays so that I can swap then out with other drives without messing with the cables.
Ewwwww (even more). ATA is nasty for hot-swap. SATA's SCA-like, staggered power/transient is much better.
I really don't think he hotswaps them. Most like turning the computer off, replacing the drive, and turning back on.
I have seen this done many times, mostly on computer course labs, or test boxes.
But I agree, ATA for hot-swaping is a BAD idea.

Hi Rodrigo! Your are correct, I do not hot swap them even though the product claims that you can. I never trusted that with IDE.
