I'm looking at purchasing a SATA HD enclosure (tray) for backup purposes. An important feature is for the drive to be hot-swappable. However, I don't have any RAID controller, just a SATA controller.
Is the RAID controller required for this hot-swap feature to work?

You need to verify that your controller supports hot-swap. Some early controllers did not support this. Also I think many cheap on-board controllers may not support it. Also remember you can't hot swap your OS drive.
But the short answer is no, raid is not required to have a hot swap sata drive.

specific it is going to clutter it up and your laptop will end working. There are various issues that could take place to make a equipment's perplexing drives warm swappable. between the foremost issues is you're able to have a sort of RAID that helps drives to be warm swappable.
