Thanks for the link wardog, but im using Ubuntu ;).

I know what Hot Swap means, but these are two different categorys and they belong together:

Hot Plug is the (software/Bios) ability to plug the drive to the Computer and unplug it again on a running System - This is a SATA feature. And normally u can decide wich port should be hot plugable. This option will make a SATA (and not all of them) Drive to "secure (hot)-unplug" in windows like a usb Stick.

Hot swap is the mechanical switching of HDDs on a running System - this is NOT a SATA feature.
For Hot swap, hot plug is necessary and sometimes these names gets used equally.

Unfortunately it looks like i have to buy another board...

Hot plug the system needs to be shut down to remove it. Hence "plug, not "swap.

You want "Hot Swap". Not hot plug. Two completely different procedures.

This works just fine. I use it here:

Hey,

I've bought a AB350M for my main System - one of the reasons was it has everything i need, especially Sata Hot plug. I need HDD Hot Plug because i have to do some backups from time to time...

I enabled the "Hot Plug" option in BIOS, but i cant specify the Port which should be hot plugable. Can somebody help me?

I need to attach and remove SATA HDDs like a USB-Sticks while the System is running.
