Is it true that any SATA hard drive is hot swapable & doesn't need master
slave jumpers?
 
If it is not advertised as such then likely not. Visit the manufacturers
website and/or Google.

The first generation (now) of SATA hard drives do not have the hot-swap
functions installed. The next SATA standard should.

SATA hard drives do not have any jumper since you can only have one drive
per cable (for now.)

SATA drives are hot swapable,the problem(s) doing this however are
directly related to the RAID controller thier connected to,RAID5 has that
capability,but is only found on a server board.
 
You might want to take note that even with hot swap SATA drive, you are still
require to have a proper hot swap enclosure to connect these drives up. Most
manufacturer will only support this type of connection.
