@UtahPilotChip Note: There is a difference between eSATA & eSATAp (Self powered) True eSATAp drives includes Delock, Lindy, Dynex, Lacie. So insist in an eSATAp capable product.
@SeikoPsycho i would imagine so to use the full of the hardware but i think you would just install all the drivers and it would see what is there as installed and whats not as removed upon boot. No idea but I am rather interested in giving something like this a try one day. Externalizing my multiboots that I don't use often and only keeping my win7 setup internal would be of great utility.
I just received my portable HDD in the mail. It has a USB 2.0 and an eSATA. I assume it is powered through the USB (which can also be used as the data transfer). Anyway I can not figure out how to transfer data using the eSATA. The plug and play with the USB works great, but as soon as I plug the eSATA into the drive, it disapears out of My Computer. I tried rebooting with the eSATA in and it tried to boot from my empty drive. Any help would be very appreciated!

Won't you need to install drivers for each different computer you use it on?
