Just to add my 5 cents (centos 5 cents that is har har)...
I have several plain jane seagate sata drives, connected mostly to nforce4
sata (module sata_nv) controller, and a few connected to a silicon image
controller (sata_sil) ... hot swap is a non issue for me. All my drives are
part of MD raid sets - I down the drive using mdadm, and then just pull it
from the chassis (Supermicro 5 drive chassis). Adding a new drive is
equally easy, just slide it into the chassis and use mdadm to add it to an
array.
