I also am using an eSATA-connected external HDD (Western Digital) that operates fine with both XP and Win7.

I do have a hassle with the eSATA not being hot-pluggable like USB – that is, if the eSATA drive is not powered-on when I boot, My Computer won’t see it unless I reboot after turning on the eSATA drive.

OOPS! As a final check before posting this, I just checked – my eSATA connected HDD is indeed hot-pluggable in Windows7. Excuse my bungling: I’ve only had Win7 for less than two days!

However, in XP the eSATA drive is still not hot-pluggable.
Hope all this is of some help!
