This is the first time I have had to setup RAID in modern times with such large drives. I have 8x 2TB hard drives and I don't want to be limited to 2TB per volume so I know I need to convert from NTFS to GPT. But now I have read in some places that GPT does not support hot swapping. Is this correct?

This works fine in linux. Not sure about windows.

You mean MBR to GPT. NTFS is the filesystem that sits on top of either.
