March 13, 201115 yr This is a new build, with an iStar 5-in-3 cage. I just swapped an old drive out for a bigger drive. But even when I removed the old drive, unRAID was still seeing it in the devices...and more importantly, it wasn't seeing the new one...for assignment into the array; not until I did a re-boot. It should, right? Otherwise, what's the point of hot-swap? Is this likely a BIOS thing with my board? Thanks, CD

The 5.0b5+ series will support a sudo hot swap like ability so that the entire machine does not have to be rebooted. The point of the hot swap cages is for CONVENIENCE so you don't have to take the entire computer apart to add a drive.
