How did you make that work in Linux? We have a machine with Hot-Swap SATA hard drives, and though the controller could care less when we unplug it, the Kernel freaks out. I think the problem is in the libata module.
What chipset are you talking about? With most implementations, I'm being simple and saying "it doesn't work". Most "RAID" implementations are actually software raid with a few hardware speedups (IE, most of the work is still being done by the drivers). But with a 3ware controller (and probably a couple others, but since 3ware has worked so well for us, I haven't really researched the alternatives), it's all hardware. Under linux, the array looks like a regular SCSI drive. The firmware on the array controller takes care of all the details relating to hotplug.
