HotSwap! 4.1.1.0

Publisher's Description:

HotSwap! safely allows storage devices to be Hot Swapped. Basically it does the same thing as you can remove devices from Device Manager, but the user interface is much friendly as compatible with the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon in the notification area and it is much safer as it prevents the drive being removed if the drive is in use. With this software, you can use SATA/eSATA drives as even better removable drives than USB/IEEE1394 drives.

Latest Changes:

• Fixed problem that the icon doesn't show up in the notification area after Explorer crashed and restarted on Windows Vista

I have been using HotSwap! for over a year and it has been perfect. It solves the problems that prevent clean hot swapping of external SATA drives. These drives do not show up in the normal windows tray icon to "safely remove" a drive but simply removing or powering down the SATA drive can cause data corrution. HotSwap provides a simple and quick way to cleanly dismount a SATA drive before disconneting it. The program is very small (under 100K!) and is very simple to install.
