I have a similar question: I'm currently running Mandriva 2008.0 at the office, and am planning to buy a new home machine (Intel DP35DP motherboard, which supports e-SATA), and put on 2008.1 when I get it. I'm an environmental modeler, so I wind up with *lots* of "working data" -- 300GB or so. I'm considering getting one of Seagate's e-SATA/USB2 500GB external drives (~$150 at Amazon).
My questions: (1) I know I can do "hot-plug" USB operation -- can I "hot-plug" with e-SATA? (2) are there any "gotchas" about getting an e-SATA controller for the office, and using e-SATA hot-plugging there?
