1: for accessing SBS on the sheevaplug you use a computer connected to the same network the sheeva is connected to. On that computer use a web browser to go to the page <sheeva_IP_address>:9000. This gives you pages and a ton of menus for configuring the server and running players.
2: IF the plug you buy really does have an eSATA connecotr you could connect a SATA drive to it with a SATA to eSATA adapter. 3: no: eSATA will not hotplug. You would need to shut the system down nicely and unplug the "PLUG" before disconnecting. If you plan on disconnecting a lot you will probably be better off staying with USB. You will STILL have to unmount the drive before physically disconnecting the cable or turning the power off. This is done by logging into the Sheeva with SSH and running the appropriate command. I would do this with a script that stopped SBS nicely then unmounted the drive. These systems are pretty much designed to be left on all the time so you don't have to worry about such issues. If the drive is formatted with ext3 file system it can handle accidental unpluggs or power failures quite nicely.
