IF so, does that mean that I can take out any SATA storage drive (bar C: of course as Windows would probably freeze up) while my PC is still in Windows?
Is SATA hot swappable?

Cheers you lot, I don't see why people are scared though. I've even tried hot swapping PATA drives before, with obviously no luck. I think there's a lot of scepticism in the IT world with all the hardware faults, but I see this as being 90% manufacturer fault and only 10% technological fault.
Well, i just played around with my SATA drives, taking the cable out and back in. Didn't even have to remove it, Windows made the device unplugged sound when I took the cable out and then I got the device detected sound when I plugged it back in. Drive worked after trying it five times and everything was still accessible. Easy.
