if you want to attach your drive after your computer has already booted, you can simply connect the interface cable, turn on power to the drive, and your OS automatically detects and mounts the drive. This is known as hot-plugging.
In a hot-plug situation, it’s a good idea to connect all power and interface cables to your drive, and to
place the drive where you want it to remain, before you turn it on. This helps ensure that you won’t need to move your drive after it’s running.
