The app also helps you determine if the device you are removing is no longer running when you eject it. You can gain full control of the PC-connected devices all the time through a dedicated autostart button that comes with HotSwap.
Features

Windows Vista / 7 / Server 2008 / 8 / 10 (32-bit and 64-bit) Silicon Image SATA Host Controller (SiI3112A, SiI3114, SiI3132, etc) Silicon Image SATA-PATA (Parallel ATA) Bridge Controller (SiI3611) SATA Host Controller (AHCI mode enabled in BIOS) (e.g. Intel Controller Hub (ICH), JMicron JMB363) If Silicon Image controller is used, the driver will spin-down the drive upon device removable
