Before you go trying this, make sure the SATA drivers in Linux support 
hot swapping.  Just because the hardware supports it doesn't mean the 
software does (I can practically guarantee you windows will BSOD unless 
you tell it in advance you're going to hotswap it's drive).

This is mostly useful on RAID arrays though.  See the raidhotadd and 
raidhotremove (or is it raidhotdel?) commands.
