Is Adaptec SATAConnect 1205SA hot swap compatible
I've got an Adaptec SATAConnect 1205SA PCI SATA controller and couple
of 300GB drive inside Promise SuperSwap 1100's enclosures with the intention of using them as a low cost backup system. For some reason I cannot hot swap the drives. The SuperSwaps are 100% hot swap compatible but I'm not sure about the Adaptec controller. Should I be able to hot swap with this controller with the drivers provided (1.0.0.41)? If not, is there an updated driver or third party driver I could use? Or do I need to get a different controller? |

For some reason I cannot hot swap the drives. Which should be rather obvious: http://www.promise.com/product/segme...nt=RAID%20HBAs The SuperSwaps are 100% hot swap compatible but I'm not sure about the Adaptec controller. How can the SuperSwaps be 100% hot swap compatible if they have nothing to say about the controller's behaviour. Doesn't Promise offer driver extensions for the SuperSwaps? Given the info in above link they probably only work with Promise RAID controllers. Should I be able to hot swap with this controller with the drivers provided (1.0.0.41)? Of course not. It isn't even a Promise clone. If not, is there an updated driver or third party driver I could use? Or do I need to get a different controller? Yup, obviously. |

It is also "meaningful" if you want to remove the disk without shutting down the machine, which you might want to do if you are using the disk for backup or to transport data or for forensic work. -- --John to email, dial "usenet" and validate (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |

O.k., to be exact it is called hot-plug sometimes if it is not RAID, but you should be able to remove and insert a SATA disk (when the system supports hot-swap for SATA) just like you do with an USB-attached disk.
