How to set sata port to hotswap? P55 UDP4

[Deleted member 4644]

I have a Gigabyte P55 UDP4 motherboard. I want to set one of my sata ports to hotswap. Can anyone tell me how?

Thanks.

as long as they are in AHCI mode they should hotswap fine.

Also make sure you are not unplugging a Molex/SATA power adapter. The SATA power connector has longer ground leads making sure the ground gets connected before the power. Molex doesn't have this feature so its possible to fry something as this thread made me aware of.
