Some drives are hot-swappable; however, they still have the performance of internal
drives. For example, my current ThinkPad laptop has a swappable device bay that can ac-
cept a number of devices, including Parallel ATA and Serial ATA drives. With a SATA
drive installed, the default policy settings are the same as internal drives; however, the
settings can be changed if desired.
Figure 14.20
shows the default settings for a drive in-
stalled in the swappable bay.
