Two Questions:

I Have the system set up, running smoothly off the primary SDD. Dang -- it's fast! Twp quick Q's...


Now I'm working on setting up the Caviar Black 1TB Storage. Are there any reasons why I should not enable hot swapping even thought it's currently solo and won't be running RAID??
I also have an older Toshiba Laptop HD (http://www.superwarehouse.com/Toshiba_60GB_SuperSlim_MK6026GAX__Hard_Drive/HDD2194/ps/394084) I'm contemplating throwing into the new system to grab old data from. It does not seem compatible to me that the older ATA will be of any use in the new system. Any thoughts on compatibility?



Thanks!
