SATA is not intended for hot-plugging. eSATA (external SATA) does support it.
No, the only difference is the connector. There are simple passive (ie, iron) converters (SATA to eSATA).
Is it not the case that the connectors for eSATA are carefully designed to make sure proper sequencing occurs when the connector is plugged in? First ground next power and finally signal pins connect? Hmm... Digging around in my memory... I may be thinking of the connector design for hot-pluggable SATA enclosures...
