note, for hotswapping, make sure to have ahci mode enabled in bios: www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/CS-020811.htm#modes :: Quote :: SATA Modes (AHCI; Hot Swap)
The SATA controller has three modes of operation: * IDE mode - no AHCI, no RAID * SATA mode (sometimes called AHCI mode) - AHCI enabled, no RAID * RAID mode - AHCI enabled, RAID enabled AHCI mode also allows for Hot Swapping drives. Switching SATA modes in the BIOS after installing the operating system is not recommended when a SATA drive is the boot drive. Switching modes may cause an immediate blue screen with an 0x0000007b error code, followed by a reboot. Note that many motherboards default to IDE mode, thus disabling hotswap.
