I use removable IDE hard drives on several systems for data backup.
However, in order to swap drives, I have to power down the sytems
(running either Windows 2000 Server or Windows 2000 Professional).
Can someone point me to hot swappable removable IDE enclosures that work
with Windows 2000? All of the hot swappable ones I found only support
Windows 98 for some bizarre reason.
I don't want to use USB or firewire because it's too slow. I regularly
have to back up 200 gigs at once and with a USB 2.0 drive I bought it
takes 12+ hours to run a full backup and eats up tons of CPU cycles.
Thanks!
