I been looking at these cards on newegg. I haven't had a SATA drive before and confess I don't know a lot about them. They are faster and have little bitty cables. I'm looking at this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816124003 I notice that it has two internal and two external connectors. Can I assume that the "eSATA" means external or is that something else? Also while I have the link and you are most likely looking at it, is this a good fast card? It appears to be a pretty recent revision since it also says SATA II. Thanks for the help. Dale :-) :-)
