[Updated] Stork's Thunderbolt Build: i5-3570K | GA-Z77X-UP5-TH | GTX 650 Ti | Mountain Lion
Thanks, much appreciated there. I didn't see a mention of Thunderbolt not being swappable in the Gigabyte manual, but that's moot since there were plenty of folks cataloging their builds who said as much, I just didn't bother reading up enough. The plan was to have 2-3 SSDs (a dedicated work drive, CCC of my boot drive) that I could pop in and out at will, but looks like I'll have to rethink Thunderbolt for that. (At least for now)
Another issue I'm having is that my USB ports seem to be misbehaving. Keyboard is sporadically lagging, as is my mouse (both Logitech wireless ones using their unifier dongle), my webcam (Logitech C910) didn't work at all (would light up, but ML wouldn't show a picture when trying to use) until I unplugged and replugged, and doesn't seem to like my USB3 header at all. (Plug a USB drive in there, and it's a 50-50 on whether or not things will freeze up, but seems to work fine in a USB 2 port)
ubermick,
Hot swapping does not work with the Gigabyte implementation of Thunderbolt. IIRC, it's in the manual that came with the board. However, I don't the answer to your GoFlex (0,2) drive problem, yet. I don't have one, but I'm checking with the moderators on your problem.
