with windows Vista.... i've never had a problem even with the first incarnation of esata... windows XP however has been a different story alltogether.
Strange that your running vista ultimate x64 and haveing issues where as i haven't had any at all..
I've got a Seagate FreeAgent 750gb PRO external drive that uses both usb/esata/firewire.
using only the esata.. i can hotplug using a much older board (Asus A8N32-SLI) with windows vista.... while the board isn't actually "eSATA" it has an port on the back for sata which works just fine.
And this is from an Nforce 4 ultra x16 board.. which i class as being one of the worst boards on the market at the time lol.
but non the less, that's using i beleive a jmicron chip for the sata external port.
however i had similare results while using a passthrough cable on that same board.... on that ran to the front of the case which worked in the same manner no grief.
