Just to add to the confusion, LaCie and OWC made otherwise identical
SATA-I (1.5 Gb/c) PCI controller cards.
Well, my SATA controller card is a Sonnet. External drive is a LaCie
Quadra. Connections are clear enough - SATA on the controller, eSATA
on the external. What I'm not clear on is the efficacy and the
feasibility of an adapted connection, but what you say seems to
indicate that it's no sweat. If the connector fits, wear it. That's
good news, if I interpret correctly.
Lots of adapters are sold by Hong Kong-based sellers which can
accomplish
a variety of conversions.
The adapter cable I'm looking at it is down the page here:
