Does anybody has any experience with e-sata on CentOS5.2?
- How fast is it? Same as an internal sata?

I use one ExpressCard eSATA II controller with a laptop under CentOS 5. The controller requires reboot in order to be recognized (at least I don't know a way to make it work any other way), but the disks are hot-pluggable just like with USB. No idea how the speed compares to internal SATA.
