I recently got some sort of external sata caddy.
It says if my motherboard supports hot swappable SATA, I can just put a HD in and remove it whenever I want to.
The motherboard is quite old Gigabyte GA-K8NSC-939
It has onluy 2 SATA slots, so I bought PCI card with 2 additional SATA slots and plugged the caddy into it.
I read motherboard manual and didn't find anything about hot swappable SATA feature. Does it mean my motherboard doesn't support it?
How can I check whether it supports hot swapping of SATA HDs?
Or..because I use PCI card, I should find out whether a SATA controller on this card supports hot swap of SATA HDs?
Thank you in advance,
A.
