If you get an enclosure that simply holds the drives and uses a port for each drive then it would be the same as if they were inside. Just use the same sata ports you had them hooked to on the MB internally.

I use one of these at work for back and its nice when you can hot swap the drives.

They also have port multiplier models that only need one eSATA port and it multiplies for all drives in the case. But it wasn't what I needed.
