hot swap HD

[Bill]

Hi
I have a Compaq 36Gb SCSI 3 hot swap HD. Is it possible to use that kind
of HD on a ordinary SCSI PCI card in a desktop or is it only usable in a
U-server ?

Thanks

SCSI & SATA really arent that diffrent except SCSI usually spins much
faster (15,000 rpm),& the drives are typically smaller.If the connections
are the same it should be fine.Hot swap enables the user to remove
devices as they are in use.

drive must be used in conjunction with a hot-swapable backplane

and of course it must be unmounted
