[lug] boot eSata

... 
Not with eSATA or SATA, but since the early 90's I've installed all my 
desktop 3.5" PATA and SCSI disks in mobile carriers. This works well if 
your computer case has at least one 5.25" slot on the front. I've also 
installed these carriers in external USB/1394 drives. 
... 

I've done this as well, I prefer SCSI due to the ID jumper, compared to PATA. But SATA should be simple to use in an external carrier. If you look at the eSATA though, assuming it works well to boot from, you could take advantage of a couple of drives in one carrier for performance and/or reliability.
