    SSD Hot Swappable ?

    I am running Win 10 using a 3.5" Hot Swappable HD caddy. I am interested in graduating to a SSD HD. Is it necessary to disconnect my existing caddy in order to install the adapter? Or can I affix the adapter to the SSD drive, and merely insert it into my existing caddy? TIA
