Ok, that's good to know. I must admit that I hot swapped successfuly 10 or so times while testing without problems. My brother got inspired and bought one two. He's running XP and as soon as he tried to hot swap his data drive he lost all data on it. Opps. But then he has an older motherboard so it may be more about the bios / sata chip. Thanks for the feedback.
