Just an add to the previous great comments.
If you envisage to use e-sata, check that your chipset/bios support
hot-replace/add.
It's working nicely with laptop, but not always for a vaste majority of "cheap"
motherboard.
Mine a Asus M2N-Pro support e-sata : but only on cold restart (jmicron and
2.6.27 kernel)
Sadly I've to use the usb-2 ...
So my advise, try to prepare 2 or more disk and check if hardware/kernel are
supporting hot replace.
If yes, you would have some great time with bacula :-)
