    Hot-swap drives vs "not" how-swapple drives question

    What is the difference between HDD's which is said to be hot-swappable, and HDD's that aren’t?

    Is it just a question about, that hot-swappable disks wont break from the sudden electrical charge when you swop them in a system?
    Or is their a deeper meaning?

    For example.

    If you buy a 2U server with 8 3.5" bays. And you buy disks of a good quality (raid disks), but they aren’t hot-swappable.
    What would the downside to that be?

    Hope someone can cast a bit of light on my question ,)

    Kind regards.
