Which is very similar in function to the one I have, only mine is for
installation in a 5¼″ case slot. When I bought it years ago I was thing
about a desktop dock like yours, because that can also be used with my
laptop. But I found it neater to install it cleanly into my PC case. :-)

When I was reading up on the differences between SAS and SATA (because some
enclosures and cases use a SAS backplane), one of the items was multipath
support: SAS can address several drives, SATA only one. So eSATA is limited
to a single drive per cable.
