It wasn't designed that way, no, but some laptop vendors have figured out ways to support it, and AFAIK Linux *does* support these methods. If I'm not mistaken, ACPI even is a cross-vendor generic method of this. Look at the documentation of hdparm, and in the case of Thinkpads there was a kernel module called lt_hotswap, although I think that's now superseded by thinkpad_acpi and/or generic ACPI bay support. > > How to do with debian ?
