eSata for Laptop

**Davej** · September 16th 15, 02:36 AM posted to alt.comp.hardware.pc-homebuilt

I'm finally playing with eSata on my laptop, but I don't know what the rules are for connecting and disconnecting the external drive. Any opinions? Thanks.

I found the answer. The drive appears as if it is a USB device. You
can "eject" it and then power it down.

Should be a BIOS compliancy for hot-swapping a SATA drive.

DO NOT unplug the the drive when it is having activities!
