AHCI and eSATA

[ToddAndMargo]

Hi All,

After I get my motherboard's BIOS into AHCI mode
and get the correct drivers loaded into XP,
will eSATA drives act like USB thumb drives?
(Eject by pressing the green arrow, etc.)

Many thanks,

eSATA will not be considered USB style. eSATA and SATA will be "hot-
swappable" and eSATA can be considered as "internal" drives.
