have just received a p5b deluxe as a replacement to the DS3 that was weird and noticed it has an esata port.

can you just get an adapter of some kind to use a normal drive externally if needs be?

also, if i use that external port, does it take the place of an internal port? i.e if i plugged a drive into that port, can i still use all 7 internal ports as well?
 
i was thinking of using it to connect an internal drive as i dont have any external drives anymore. managed to fit them all internally. i figured a long cable with it coming out the back would do the trick. otherwise it would just go unused :)
 
cant i just connect a molex internally and connect the sata2esata cable to the back of the pc and feed it inside?

cant see a need for an enclosure since the cable should be long enough to reach the external port
