Anybody know a good relatively cheap Mobo that supports hotswap?

I need help finding a good 1155 Mobo that supports hotswap SATA but it needs to be not so expensive (if this even exists???)

It is my understanding that any motherboard with a Z77 chipset should support hot plug (non-RAID)/hot swap (RAID) on its onboard storage ports. Using the ports for any additional controller, it depends on what that controller supports.

The drives must also be set for AHCI.

ok then =)

Keep in mind, most motherboards have some ports that are run off the Z77 chipset, and additional ports that run off a 3rd party chipset. These are typically right next to one another. Depending on which ports you are plugging into, the 3rd party ports may or may not support hot swap. You'd want to look into the details for the 3rd party chipset on those ports and confirm.

Hope that helps things go smoothly.
