I have an internal SATA drive that I want to keep outside the computer as a backup drive. My P35/ICH9R motherboard came with a bracket that does SATA to eSATA and Molex power to SATA power.
The bracket looks like this. That's two eSATA ports on the sides and Molex in the middle. The cables are an eSATA to SATA data cable and Molex to SATA power cable.
Once the bracket is installed, can I safely hook up the drive to the eSATA-SATA data cable and the Molex-SATA power cable, while the computer is already on?
Thanks
