ASUS P5B DLX?

Just noticed this extra SATA port on the board. Now Asus say this board only as 6 SATA ports but clearly there are 7 internal, so what is this one doing here. Can I use this port for another drive or is it just for show.

I can't try it just yet because I am waiting on a new PSU.

Open the Mobo manual, page 2-29

Basically it's a Sata port controlled by Jmicron JMB363 onboard chip which supports RAID utility.

I think that's for e-sata, there is a similar connector on the vanila P5B.

Couldn't look at the manual m8 I'm at the girlfriends at the moment.
