Hi, Ken. We bought and installed the following, 4-port, PCI, eSATA card
from Granite Digital:
http://www.granitedigital.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=267
It uses the SI 3114 chipset. It seems to work without problems (so far)
and is about twice as fast as USB (non-scientific measurement). It
didn't require any driver installation.
