Re: Computer go BOOM!
maybe you can, I don't know. I've never hot-swapped anything before.

The computer has bays that open in the front, and sliding racks for the HDDs. It shouldn't have been an issue. This one was just evil.rEvolutionist wrote:maybe you can, I don't know. I've never hot-swapped anything before.

I suggested it would be a bad idea in another thread.. but don't mind me.Gawdzilla Sama wrote:Nobody said I couldn't.rEvolutionist wrote:You didn't hot-swap it, did you? I didn't think you could hot-swap old drives.
Re: Computer go BOOM!
It's funny.. most power supplies shutdown immediately if there's too much draw (such as if there was an internal short in the drive) rather than blowing up.

Hot-swapping internal drives is only for the newer SATA drives, not the older PATA* type - or any other type for that matter.
*I keep calling them IDE, but PATA is the more correct term.

Being able to hot-swap internal drives is a relatively recent advance. Even so, the worst that should have happened was that the drive just didn't party. The very worst that should have happened would have been the machine crashing, but with no permanent damage.
The PSU going tits-up would probably have happened even it was support hot-swapping.

Yes, to ask more questions.Gawdzilla Sama wrote:Well, I learned me summin' today.
If you think there are going to be more older drives coming your way, you really ought to look at getting a drive enclose/docking station that can handle old PATA drives. Isolate the drive from the PC, don't bother about the limited speed of a USB 2.0 connection. When you really have to use a drive just once, raw speed isn't an issue.

Yeah... just ignore me when I told you days ago to shutdown before you connected the drive. Derp.
