The 'E' just means the connector comes out the back. Otherwise it is
the same as internal with the same options that depend on the controller
model and driver. Most, but not all SATA controllers support hot-plug
but I think it needs to be done at the drive level, not the cable to the
case so the connectors can enforce the right order of connections on the
power and data side.
