Well, "hot pluggable" is designed to disconnect easily. SCA-80 SCSI
connectors have the benefit of more pads, of course, providing more
friction to keep the connector in place.
Any hot-plug SATA caddy system will hold the drive in place, and the SATA
connector will be on a fixed backplane, so the mechanical strength of the
connection is a moot point.
But for simple cable to drive arrangements, there is no way to fix the
connector except by tying the cable to the chassis, which is a reasonable
suggestion.
