    The Turkish one you linked to looks like a connector to your ESATA on your mobo. That would work, too. The ones I showed were independent PCI-E controllers, which might or might not be as much fun. Advantage is they have their own controller, disadvantage is they're routing more data over the PCI bus.

    Either route will get you where you're going.

    -edit-

    Doing a little more reading on this board. Can't tell if it has an ESATA controller onboard. Maybe a more experienced Orgah could advise us here (*cough* Whacker *cough* Xiahou *cough* Pever), can an ESATA port connector be attached to a plain old SATA port on the mobo? I've never tried such a thing. Or is ESATA its own standard, needing a dedicated controller?
