Hi, Ken. We bought and installed the following, 4-port, PCI, eSATA card from Granite Digital: http://www.granitedigital.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=267 It uses the SI 3114 chipset. It seems to work without problems (so far) and is about twice as fast as USB (non-scientific measurement). It didn't require any driver installation. - Mike > > Michael Hannon wrote: > >Greetings.
