SATA to eSATA?

by tink! . Updated 15 years, 11 months ago

Since I don’t want to go the whole weekend without my computer at home, I found a local store that says he’s got a PCI card with a SATA and IDE port.

I have not seen this yet, but I’m assuming he means it has eSata ports. (as for the IDE – not so sure)

But, if it IS an eSata port, can I :

Connect an internal Sata drive to the eSata port (using a Sata to eSata cable)?

and would it be bootable? (remember the machine this PCI card is going into is dead without a hard drive. I’m trying to connect a SATA internal drive to it to boot from)

Thanks! Tink
