Apologies if this is the wrong list for this.
I have a SAS backplane filled with 16 SATA drives.
Assuming a drive is unmounted or failed and removed from an md array, is
it safe to directly pull the drive and insert a new one, or are there
other commands required in order to remove power from it first?
Just concerned about electrical damage to drive/backplane here.
Regards,
Richard

..
It should be quite safe, so long as software isn't accessing the drive.
