This one is really only a 4 port card, notice all of the jumpers...
It's to switch up to two ports to external.
Supermicro has an 8 port card that you may be able to put one port as
e-Sata (works on linux with the PCI-X version at least).
I have two of the PCI-X cards, and love them. The PCI-E uses a quad
sata port, so you have to get fan out cables.
