It’s sometimes very important and necessary for you to use hot swap data recovery technologies to recover the lost data from the patient drives in your data recovery lab.
The following are the hot swap instructions for Hitachi GLA and SLA families:
1 – Save all SA modules from patient and donor drives;
2 – Record SA co-ordinates from patient NVRAM into donor NVRAM (SA Top I tihnk is only important) then repower;
3 – Start Hitachi utility and make offline start, select patient modules ~zone and ~resf to load from;
4 – Write to donor patient ~zone and ~resf and repower;
5 – Make offline start again, then write all patient SA modules to donor;
6 – Repower and should be ready for hotswap.

I am new to data recovery but very interested and curious on the data recovery technologies: Thanks a lot for your sharing of such kind of great resources here. I read other interesting information from other website too about hot swap, let’s share:
Hot Swap: A true hot swap is defined as one where the drive can be replaced while the rest of the system remains completely uninterrupted. This means the system carries on functioning, the bus keeps transferring data, and the hardware change is completely transparent.
Warn Swap: In a so-called “warm swap”, the power remains on to the hardware and the operating system continues to function, but all activity must be stopped on the bus to which the device is connected. This is worse than a hot swap, obviously, but clearly better than a cold one.
Cold Swap: The system must be powered off before making the swap.
by the way, how much is your hitachi drive repair kit or technology?
