You go ahead and hot swap the drive that the OS is running from. I'll
watch and try not to bust a gut lau
Maybe after you tell us what you are talking about we can all laugh. You
might want to go to wikipedia to look up SATA and how it functions. Also
might want to read up on putting OS's on seperate drives, they all don't
have to go on one drive. I'd give you the url for looking up SATA on wiki,

This is an external two drive enclosure, not a tray. Why bother with
eSata? Speed...being able to hot swap if you wanted. As far as
incompatibilities go, I'm on windows so SATA is fine. I guess your mac
doesn't like new fangled things that came out years ago like SATA?
NAT? NAS? Can you say

With a drive bay priced at $10 and using old reliable IDE why would

You may want to look at Drobo

lets you hot swap drives into a box that manages backups and builds
something like a RAID array for $500 plus the cost of drives.

Not all external drives have fans. Metal Gear Box ones (IDE & SATA
models & combo models) are nice, inexpensive and do not.
eSATA drives are rare and have a different connector than SATA ... you
have to have the card
Failure recovery, dual OS's, feelings of power and consequence when
I insert those drives...

We use el cheapo Genica EIDE drive bays. Like $10 for a male-female

My only experience is with older ones, no longer sold. There is no
