Hot-swappable means that a drive may be removed while the machine is still running. Quick-time removable is a feature we developed that allows you to remove a drive very easily without a tool in a matter of seconds. A quick-time drive is cold-swappable or hot-swappable depending on your configuration. For instance, when Windows XP/32 or XP/64 is loaded on the main HDD, the 2nd, non-OS, HDD is hot-swappable. If XP/32 or XP/64 is loaded on one of the optional fixed HDDs, both quick-time HDDs are hot-swappable.
