I'm about to buy a GA-X58A-UD3R rev.2 this weekend for a full system upgrade, but I've just realised that I might have an issue with my current two eSATA hot-swap caddies that I would want to use on it. They fit in 5 1/4" bays in the case and connect internally to my current MB, a GA-965p-DQ6 which allows me to hot-swap the HD's easily.
Do any of the MB's internal SATA ports support eSATA?
It looks like the Marvel 9128 chip is capable of eSATA, but I don't know if Gigabytes implementation supports it.
Cheers,
Rick.
