É perigoso adicionar / remover um disco rígido a uma máquina Windows que esteja em stand by?

Question

Posso adicionar uma unidade SATA a uma máquina com Windows 7 que esteja no modo de espera? O hardware suporta hot-plug.

A extração da unidade em estado de espera pode corromper os dados da unidade (caches não liberados, ...)? O Windows é executado antes de aguardar?

Como sobre a troca de uma unidade com outra unidade de outro tipo (SSD - > disco mecânico) e tamanho, também em stand-by. Poderia o sistema operacional ao acordar acreditar que a unidade antiga ainda está lá, e escrever para ele e, assim, corrompê-lo, uma vez que o novo tem partições e dados diferentes?

    

Answer 1

Seus discos precisam ser configurados para AHCI, isso permite os recursos de hot swap de unidades SATA.

Now, all your SATA drives will appear when you use the “Safely remove device” icon near the clock in the bottom right corner. If you choose to remove a drive, you can eject it from there and then take it out and put in a new one. This is where the problems start to arrive though. Sometimes, this approach works without a problem, but sometimes Windows simply goes silent, and acts as though nothing has been connected at all. Other times, it tells you that it has found partitions, but that they are in RAW format, and have to be reformatted!

After living with this for a couple of days, I decided that there had to be a more stable way of doing this, and that was when I came across HotSwap!. This piece of software is made for managing hot-swap drives in Windows, and once installed, allows you not only to scan for new drives ( and load them properly! ), but also to safely remove them AFTER doing a spin-down.

After running this stand-alone .exe, you can set it to autostart with Windows. After that, whenever you want to swap a drive, just right-click the hotswap icon at the bottom right near your clock, safely remove the device you want to swap, exchange the drives and choose “Scan for changes” in the HotSwap! menu and up comes your drive!

Happy hot-swapping!

Answer 2

Sim, os dados são liberados ao entrar no modo de espera, mas, considerando-os, eles podem não ser 100% infalíveis. Eu sempre atribuo letras de unidade diferentes para todos os meus dispositivos USB, isso pode evitar alguns problemas ao fazer o que você sugere.

S3 (STR) Standby: In this state, the CPU has no power, the power supply is in a reduced power mode, main memory (RAM) is still powered, although it is almost the only component that is. Since the state of the operating system and all applications, open documents, etc. lies all in main memory, the user can resume work exactly where they left off the main memory content when the computer comes back from S3 is the same as when it was put into S3. S3 has two advantages over S4; the computer is faster to resume than to reboot, secondly if any running applications (opened documents, etc) have private information in them, this will not be written to the disk. However, disk caches may be flushed to prevent data corruption in case the system doesn't wake up e.g. due to power failure. STR means Save To RAM. In modern operating systems it's called as: Standby in versions of Windows through Windows XP and in some varieties of Linux, Sleep in Windows Vista and Mac OS X.
