And I have one of these: <http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Icy-Dock-MB-453SPF-Fits-into-2-525-Bays-Hosting-3-SATA-SATAII-Hard-Drive-with-Hot-swapable>, that connects via SATA internally.

IMHO, all drives should be hot-pluggable. There is no harm in this because if they are mounted by HAL on behalf of a user, they will be mountned with nodev,nosuid and other appropriate options. If they are mounted by root then the exact options that the administrator desires will be given on the 'mount' command line, or in /etc/fstab, etc.
