---- does a drive connected via eSATA fall into the same camp as USB? Most likely not. I have an E-Sata enclosure that I connect to my system. I can boot from that disk and run Windows as if it were an internal drive. Within my computer case, my system's E-Sata connector is nothing more than an external socket that connects to my motherboard with a Sata cable. My enclosure does NOT act as a Bridge. At one time, I had a Sata PCI card with an E-Sata socket. This card needed a driver to work with Windows. In this case, connecting a disk in an E-Sata enclosure would require much effort to configure (assuming it would work at all.) Amazingly, I do run out of patience and discontinue my testing from time to time. This is one of those times. Since I have a solution that works, I dropped the matter. Enhanced Sata is Hot-Swappable. Unfortunately, the decision to exploit this feature must be made BEFORE installing Windows. Speculating on how much grief I'd endure with compatibility issues, I decided to stick with Plain-Jane Sata. Cheers, PW.
