3.5" SATA to USB 3.0 &
eSATA External Enclosure
NOTICE
Question
：
Does this SATA enclosure support hot swap?
Answer
：
Yes, but it depends on the motherboard you have.
1.
If your motherboard has an eSATA port in the Back I/O Connectors
Panel as shown in picture # 1 . Your hot-swap function is supported
and there is no need to install the eSATA bracket. All you need is
connecting the enclosure with eSATA port at the back of your
computer. You can connect/disconnect the enclosure with your
computer at anytime.
2.
If your motherboard only comes with an onboard SATA port and no
eSATA port available. This mean hot-swap is not supported by your
motherboard. You will need to install an eSATA bracket. Since
hot-swap is not supported, you must connect the enclosure with the
computer while it powered off. The computer will recognize the
enclosure during the booting sequences and you should be able to
see the drive after MS Windows boot up.
