Hello,
I have a a question not really related to linux.

Here the story:
I have a friend who has a computer and two SATA drives, one containing
Windoze and one with linux.
So his dualboot solution is to exchange the drives.

While I do not think that is bad, I told him that the limitation might
be the connect cycles of the SATA connector.
Does anyone know how often you can unplug and reconnect a SATA
connector? Is there any specification how many cycles are estimated for
the SATA connector?

Henning
