I have several plain jane seagate sata drives, connected mostly to nforce4 sata (module sata_nv) controller, and a few connected to a silicon image controller (sata_sil) ... hot swap is a non issue for me. All my drives are part of MD raid sets - I down the drive using mdadm, and then just pull it from the chassis (Supermicro 5 drive chassis). Adding a new drive is equally easy, just slide it into the chassis and use mdadm to add it to an array.

Should it be possible to hot-swap SATA drives with Centos5? It doesn't
seem to work on my system. Removing an unmounted drive locked the
system up, and leaving one out at bootup makes the devices change names
and keeps grub from finding /boot on a scsi drive that is shifted up.
