I'm don't think that the connectors are different enough to care about - I |
| 11 |
had (in a previous life/system) a PCI SATA interface card that had both |
| 12 |
internal SATA and an eSATA connector, and when I ran out of regular internal |
| 13 |
SATA connectors, I just used a regular SATA cable, plugged into the eSATA |
| 14 |
port, then ran the cable back in through an empty expansion slot in the |
| 15 |
case, and hooked it up to a regular internal SATA driver - worked like a |
| 16 |
champ... ;) |
