For example, I'm currently working on an older IBM Netfinity server with hot-plug drives in the front of the case.

I'm not sure that's a great idea. Yes, it's great that you *can* hot-swap drives, but I really don't think it's something you want to do on a continual basis. Out of curiosity, why would you *want* to pull drives from the fileserver and put them in a different server/workstation? -- Kirk Strauser In Googlis non est, ergo non est.
