Very small chance to damage port or disk. The smallest SATA drive I have is 400 GB so I wouldn't like to risk it, not to mention my best board. While SATA seems to have been designed with hot-plug capabilities in mind, it is unclear to me whether the normal SATA cabeling is actually implementing this. The cables seem to be designed to reliably connect ground first when plugging in, so the answer might be yes. I thought you might know.
