I'm not familiar with the 3ware controller, (other than knowing the name), is it SCSI, SATA, or PATA? But ... I've actually had very good results hot swapping SCSI drives on a live linux system though. I guess you do run the risk of something crowbarring the SCSI bus for a few cycles when the drive is unplugged or plugged in, but it's all parity/checksummed, isn't it? Anyone tried SATA drives yet?
