I just got a replacement ASUS Z97-A motherboard for a now dead MSI Z97 U3. In the ASUS BIOS, there's a Hot Swap setting for each SATA port. I have a 3-bay HDD cage, and the top of the PC case has a SATA/Power port to quickly plug a drive into. I'm not planning on creating a RAID, already have a NAS for that. And I was going to stick to the default of AHCI mode.
Is there any reason NOT to enable Hot Swap for all of the ports in the BIOS?
