P4G8X - SATA hot swap?

Hi,

I'm just wondering if it is safe to hot swap SATA drives on this
motherboard using it's onboard controller?

Cheers

In article axLvd.261280$R05.240674@attbi_s53, says...
No!

How come then? SATA is supposed to be hot swappable. Are there any
controllers out there that support this?

Uh, do you use an OS that supports hot-swapping of local SATA HDs?
I don't believe that any XP client OSs do, but I'll be interested
if anybody can point to something on a M$ website that says otherwise.

There are NAS devices that support SATA hot swap, and they may
incorporate some code from M$, but that's not the same as expecting
XP PRO (for example) to support hot swap on a standard PC.

Thanks Bob, your detailed reply is much appreciated.
