If it's an IDE hard drive, you probably don't want to do that. IDE is not hot-swppable/hot-plugable by default, and unless you have a controller and drive rack that adds that functionality, your hardware won't support it, and you could wind up damaging the drive or controller.
If it's SCA SCSI, there're probably a few kernel options and utilities you need to support hot-plugging the drive, but the hardware itself shouldn't pose a problem. |
