computech1228 Posted November 30, 2015 Share #1 Posted November 30, 2015 Can anyone recommend a sata controller. I've ran out of room on my motherboard internal ports. I am looking for something that also has external eSATA ports as I intend on adding an 8 bay hard drive enclosure down the road. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbv3000 Posted December 1, 2015 Share #2 Posted December 1, 2015 Have a look through this thread (there are others if you search) too viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9540 There are variants of some of these with esata (will be harder to find and more expensive I expect) Also, be careful about esata/port multiplier cards, XPE doesnt support port multiplier cards very well (usually only one or two ports work). When I have used an external chassis for drives, I've found it easier to get some thin long sata leads (eg startec) and bind them but connected to internal port card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
