Hi all
I am building a htpc and currently buying the parts.
I decided to go with the Gigabyte (GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3) MATX mobo
But that mobo has no esata port so I am looking for a reliable low cost esata card.
I looked through newegg and found two but wanted to know if anyone has either or knows if they are good

Rosewill RC-226
Rose will RC-216

Cheap cards are almost all the same.

Just get the first one on your list (RC-226) if you have the PCIe slots avaliable and call it a day. :)


PS.....If you have no need for the card, just follow leeleatherwood's advice and use an internal port.

If you're not using AHCI mode there will be hotswapping problems (IF you need that feature) with leeleatherwood's advice but nothing insurmountable. :)
