Just in case you aren't aware, you don't necessarily need an eSATA
card. You can get eSATA back-plates that plug into spare SATA
connections on your motherboard.

That the board has plenty of, how does that work with removing the
drives?
Does it require a reboot?
I think for now I am going to build FreeBSD VM on my windows box and
dedicate it to running Bacula Director and Storage Daemon, I was able to
get a 20MB sustained through put through the VMware USB emulation
copying a file from an SFTP as I had no large files on the local system
from my test FreeBSD 9 VM. Though now I don't know why I didn't think
to just us dd from /dev/random to a file on the disk, will likely give
that a try once my new VM is built. This will get me by performance to
a workable speed until I can come up with a more permanent solution, and
keep me from spending more money this month so I have a little bit left
to add to my savings account.
I am also looking around, and I have enough spare components to build
another machine and just run it with the case open and do a shutdown and
swap hard drives, but I might go broke paying my electric bill if I keep
adding new PCs for everything.
