Hi,

I'm just wondering if it is safe to hot swap SATA drives on this
motherboard using it's onboard controller?

Cheers

Dene

How come then? SATA is supposed to be hot swappable. Are there any
controllers out there that support this?

Uh, do you use an OS that supports hot-swapping of local SATA HDs?
I don't believe that any XP client OSs do, but I'll be interested
if anybody can point to something on a M$ website that says otherwise.

There are NAS devices that support SATA hot swap, and they may
incorporate some code from M$, but that's not the same as expecting
XP PRO (for example) to support hot swap on a standard PC.
