That is a cool thing. I've replaced a few over the years. Remember going
to a shareholders banquet the night of one and informing one of the plant
managers that we replaced a drive while hot. He was impressed - didn't
even notice. Gotta get that word out.

I know i'll piss some more people of with this comment, but what's so
interesting about this?

Since i've been working in IT (around 8 years), we've had hot swap
disks - a few years back they were optional, but nowadays even the
cheapest servers have hot swap drives. It's nothing new, it's nothing
interesting, and it has worked solidly on every platform i've worked
with in the past few years.

Heck, even hot-swapping SATA disks using Linux MD works fine - which
is a nasty hack.
