I just got a 500gb hdd and am using it in an antec mx-1 for time machine. I am using the esata bracket that came with the mx-1 to connect the drive to my hackintosh. If I plug in the hard drive after osx is booted up it doesn't see it, similarly if I unplug or turn off the drive after osx is running, the OS still sees the drive. Does osx not support esata hot plug. The esata adapter is connected to the sata port of my mother board (ich7).

Has anyone been able to use esata drives with hot plug functionality in leopard
