I would like to add an ESATA external hard drive to my PC as I have found
both USB2 and Firewire drives too slow and often more plug and pray than
plug and play.
My PC does not have any SATA ports so I propose to add an PCI card (no PCI
express on my motherboard!) and would welcome suggestions, I have already
looked at:
Sunsway/ST Lab PCI SATA 2P eSATA/SATA, SiL3512

eSATA II-150 PCI
http://www.siig.com/ViewProduct.aspx?pn=SC-SA2012-S1
as far as I am concerning the more ports the better!
I intend to install a Hitachi Deskstar 1,000GB into an eMagic HD Enclosure
for 3.5" SATA which the manufacturer has confirmed has been tested with this
drive.
What I would like to ask is there anything I need to know before I attempt
this, has anyone already done this?
Thanks.
