According to the manual of the drive e-sata is not plug-and-play. The computer must be shut down to add or remove the drive.
I hot-plug several eSATA drives, no problem. I use lines in fstab to mount manually as user, I do not want automount (but it worked). Compared to USB-2, the usb plug is sturdier, less failures. I haven't seen any USB-3, I don't have the hardware (and my board is not old). If you intend to not hotplug, you can put lines in fstab with "nofail" option. If the disk is present on boot, it will mount; if it can not mount it will keep silent, so you have to check if it mounted or not. Use mount by label. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
