Hi Anna,

Fantastic to hear from someone who walked the walk so to speak..

Q1. Did you have "Enable write caching" ticked in the drive policies?
Or isn't write caching an option for SATA devices? I would think if
unplugging a cached drive things could get ugly..

Q2. Do you think changing the device usage to diabled before
unplugging would be of any benefit?

Q3. Did you try hot plugging a drive without previously having a drive
attached at boot? In other words adding a drive after boot-up?

Q4. What type of drive tray/caddie did you use? A backplane type
where the drive connectors plug directly into the backplane or one
where the drive is cable attached to the tray/caddie and the
tray/caddie connector plugs into a matching connector in a drawer?

Q5. Re Q4.. When un-plugging the tray/caddie does it appear that
power is first disconnected and then the interface cable or sorta both
at the same time? From my reading of the spec when attaching the drive
- interface should be attached first, then power; when disconnecting -
power should be removed first then the interface.

Cheers,
Mr.Ed
