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.
