Yes, indeed the __replacement_ drive is hot swap. however without pulling the current live 200gb drive i cannot determine if it's hot swap or not. I tried searching for it via warranty cover using the drive serial number against _all the part numbers listed on partsurfer for the 200gb drive in 2.5" form (MO0200EBTJU) but I can't get it to match against any of them sadly...
I am pretty sure we'll be fine as I would doubt we'd order non hot swap drives these days however it's always nice to know beforehand
if there is any other tool for serial number checking aside from the one on the support portal let me know!
thanks.
