Hard drive bays on my Hackintosh PC (2.5-inch and 5.2-inch) don't support hotplug.

I want a SATA3 SSD to be recognized by Sequoia 15.7.4 when I insert it into a drive bay while the system is running. If I insert the SSD beforehand and boot into Sequoia 15.7.4, everything works normally.

Do I need to enable the hotplug option in the BIOS of my MSI Z370 A PRO motherboard? I don't think so, because hotplug works under Windows 11 even while the system is running, without hotplug being enabled in the BIOS.

I want it to work the same way in macOS Sequoia 15.7.4.

I previously had this working under Big Sur by finding 40600200 and changing it to 00000000 using com.apple.driver.AppleAHCIPort,

but this no longer works under macOS Sequoia 15.7.4.

I have two kexts for SATA in OC 1.0.6:

CtlnaAHCIPort.kext and NVMeFix.kext

I would greatly appreciate any help with this.
