Yeah, despite SATA being supposedly 100% happily hot-pluggable..I'd rather notI've never dared to do it on a modern system or with SATA drives.

To be fair, I doubt Mom & Pops would be worried about trail software all over the place either.
Not me per se but I was at work, repairing some of the 'away' machines and doing some updates on the office machines. As such, I'm sat in front of 4 LCDs, all bustling with information, with a pile of Shuttles defragging away and a big Dell backing up to a rack of external drives, whilst doing some other miscellaneous file keeping.
Without warning our builder walks in, who was doing some repairs upstairs at the time and stumbles straight over to the mains breaker box. He looks at my screens, various computers and multitudes of flashing network and drive access lights, looks at me slightly quizically, then before I could even say anything or register his presence, flips the mains breaker, killing the whole lot.
D'OH!

Wish I could remember what the hell I was trying to achieveAnyone?
