USB to IDE/SATA?

Hi People :slight_smile:

Been a while since I last posted a thread. Wow. Anyway, here goes :smiley:

I’m planning on buying a USB to IDE/SATA, but I want to know if its hot-swappable because it has a USB port or is it the same, old; turn off, unplug, plug in, turn on, process?

I want one so I can make quick backups, and, because my laptop HDD is a rather small 50GB, possible install programs that are space consuming onto it.

Plus, the fact the you can plug the HDD in without digging through a jungle of cables, and having to scrape your hands agains the RAM in the motherboard because the case was cheaply made without any sense.

So, yea… Back to the question :slight_smile: Is it hot-swappable?
