Timely article about new developments in this idea:

"Many - probably still most - normal motherboard SATA controllers can't
do this, though the controllers built into some server boards can.
Nvidia nForce-chipset motherboards in current versions of Windows are
apparently hot-swap-capable, as are many chipsets  under Linux, but
don't assume that your motherboard will be."

Ha!  I'm using BOTH an nVidia chipset AND Linus on my set up.  W00t!
