| eSATA install of external WD HDD Question I want to install a WD, My Book, 320GB external HDD using eSATA cables. I have a Intel MB, D875PBZ, that has two internal SATA connectors, both of which are connected to an internal SATA HDD each. What is the best approach to generate an external eSATA connection? Is there such a thing as a SATA "Y" Data Cable? Would a eSATA PCI adapter card cause problems with my current SATA configuration (non-RAID)?

| Re: eSATA install of external WD HDD Question They dont make a Y sata cable, the only option you have is to get a Esata pci controller card. |

| Re: eSATA install of external WD HDD Question Thanks SRTDodge05. Will the addition of this card cause any problems with my current SATA setup?
