eSATA works the same way as regular SATA - you connect a drive to the eSATA connector, and if automount is enabled (volfs i believe) it will automount the disk. However if it doesn't, you can monitor dmesg for the device identifier and mount it yourself.
SATA is also hot-swap, so you can remove the drive while the computer is running, just remember to unmount the disk before you do so.
