external hdd esata to sata on mb... - Blu-ray Forum

Is it possible (and/or practical) to connect an external HDD to PC via an eSATA I to SATA L cable? In other words, just hang the cable out through a hole in the back of the PC. Also, are external hard drives hot swappable? I want to use my drive on 2 PC's.

using this cable, probably:
