I have bought a removable drive caddie,, Kerwin something or other (ide) so I could swap my old IDE hard drives in and out of my machine. Great,, works like a charm,, except I have to power up the unit and restart, Not that big of a deal,, but....
If I get an ide to SATA convertor and plug the drive tray into an extra SATA port,, will the drive tray become hot swappable?

If your not learning,, your just sitting there
