Reminds me that I haven't cabled my optical drive in years…

I'm temped to do the same, but I still use it about once every month or so, and I hate the idea of having to randomly shut down my PC just to plug the damn thing in. I should get an external USB optical drive.
@alyx Uh, sata is hotplug.
@lanodan
Sata maybe, but last time I tried to hot-plug a 12V power cable, my PSU restarted.
@alyx Sounds like an awful PSU, I hotswap my drives all the time.
I basically only reboot for hardware changes like the GPU, even if that shouldn't even be needed since PCIe also has hotplug capabilities.

@lanodan
I remember seeing a Linus video on hotswap PCIe... and it didn't work at all. And we're not talking about consumer MB, pretty sure it was server grade stuff.
@alyx I think it's more like a software issue but I'll try grabbing that video
