Interesting. I see it comes with an eSATA PCI card but they don't list
Linux support or the chipset. Do you happen to know if the card is
supported by libata?
It's also curious that it only comes with a one-year warranty while the
drive itself would come with a five-year warranty.

No idea. I was just googling to make sure an eSata drive was readily
available before I recommended using one.
