Whoa, cool! I'll have to find an old MB and dig out a HD to try it on.

Repeat after me... Hot-swap is only safe on drives that are sold as Hot-swap drives. Usually SCSI, but I have heard of other methods. That's a quick way to burn up the controller chip on the HDD circuit board. I have seen it happen. Nice sparks and sometimes flames when they go.

Who's up for roasting marshmallows over a Quantum Fireball as it goes out in a blaze of glory?

[homer] Mmmmmm Marshmellooooooooooooooooow ...
