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.
