I don't think that SATA is set up for hot swapping, but I am not sure.
However, hot swapping would only be applicable to a RAID 1 or RAID 5
configuration, not RAID 0. RAID 0 requires both drives to be working, so a
hot swap would kill this system. With RAID 1 (mirror) the bad drive could be
swapped out, and in RAID 5 any one of the three (minimum of 3) drives could
be pulled, so the bad drive being pulled would not disrupt operation.

Just a comment on hot-swap.

Another question for the makers of the SATA RAID server is are the drives
hot-swap capable? Most server SCSI RAID arrays are set up to allow for this
in the event of a drive failure.
