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.
