| | Can I plug-in SATA cable when computer is running? I am not sure: Can I plug-in (and -out) a SATA cable (to hard disc) from (ASUS) motherboard slot when computer is running? Or will this cause a damage to hardware? Peter |

| | If your sata controllers are in AHCI mode. It's called 'hot plugging'. Although I only do it if necessary. |

| | Definitely not recommended. But I would only do it if I was trying to install an OS on the HD. I have done it a couple times using an ASUS board and they handle it pretty well. Other boards used to have a Biostar tried fried the plug. |
