Theoretically a SATA drive can be removed without powering down as the connectors are designed to make all the ground connections first with pre-charge connections for the power connections. However this may now allow disconnection if any form of adaptor is used.
I have connected and disconnected probably hundreds of SATA drives at work without always powering down without problem.
