esata

[coxmattycox]

Hi guys,

I am looking at getting an external HD for backup, ideally using esata due to the speed.

Now, my 965-ds3p says nothing about supporting esata but my case has an inbuilt esata port, including the internal cable.

Can I just plug this cable into 1 of my normal sata ports, or does the motherboard speffically need to support esata?

I'm looking at using norton ghost, would that be ok with esata?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for that,

I am looking at getting this 1. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-191-SE&groupid=701&catid=1240&subcat=941

To backup my computer HD and laptop HD, tho the laptop will be via USB2.

Is that a good choice or any other 1.5 TB external HD?

Thanks
