Does this answer your question? Take it your not talking about the board in your sig?

nope, got an ASRock mobo today as replacement for my borked epox and was reading about the eSATAII.the thing is i dont think i have seen an eSATAII hard drive before and was wondering if there was a difference between an eSATAII and a SATA drive. any ideas?

Does it not just allow you to use sata2 disks externally

so does that mean i can buy a SATAII disk with an Akasa External Enclosure and that would be able to use eSATAII capabilites on d ASROCK motherboard?
