Well if you won't accept multiple technically adept people's word on it, I highly suggest you get one to test instead of speculating. > If this > were true, then we would have had to rewrite the disk drivers to not allow > us to open a device more than once, even if we also closed the device. > I can't imagine anyone allowing such code to be written. Obviously you have not rewritten the disk drivers to do this, so this is the wrong line of reasoning. > However, I don't believe this is the context of the issue.

Again, NO these drives are not hot pluggable and the release note is accurate. PLEASE get a system to test.
