Caution
1. Without SATA 15-pin power connector interface, the SATA / SATAII / SATA3 Hot
Plug cannot be processed.
2. Even some SATA / SATAII / SATA3 HDDs provide both SATA 15-pin power
connector and IDE 1x4-pin conventional power connector interfaces, the IDE
1x4-pin conventional power connector interface is definitely not able to support
Hot Plug and will cause the HDD damage and data loss.
