I've got a IDE drawer and docking bay that I've been thinking about throwing back into my computer system. My experiences with it were in under Dos and Windows95. Under Dos you could pull the drive out and replace it, even if it was running the OS with no real problems. Win95 completely hated it, pulling out a backup drive then plugging another in would cause 95 to completly lock up. I would think that since FreeBSD can mount an unmount drives, there should be no problems with it that way.
