The 'E' just means the connector comes out the back.  Otherwise it is 
the same as internal with the same options that depend on the controller 
model and driver.   Most, but not all SATA controllers support hot-plug 
but I think it needs to be done at the drive level, not the cable to the 
case so the connectors can enforce the right order of connections on the 
power and data side.
