If I wish to use 2 or more hard drives with the HyperDrive, is it possible to constantly swap out the hard drives?

While it is possible to change out and upgrade the hard drive in the HyperDrive, it is not recommended to constantly swap hard drives in HyperDrive as the IDE connectors of both the hard drive and the HyperDrive are not designed to be used in this manner. Frequent (estimated at more than 50 times) swapping of hard drives may wear out the hard drive connectors and affect data transfer between the hard drive and the HyperDrive. This is also true for other IDE hard drive devices like desktop, laptop computers and normal USB hard drive enclosures.

  hopefully this old question will still get a respond.

  Can you please tell what will happen to the old drive? can i attached a ide casing and connect it to a pc and still read the data? Or will it be only readable to hyperdrive devices?
