Hey,
I have a friend with a eVGA 680i motherboard, who just bought an eSATA external hdd. He can't find an eSATA port on the back of the computer, but the manual says that his board is "eSATA" ready. Any ideas about what he has to do?
Thanks

is it on a seperate pci bracket in the motherboard box?
If there isn't one in the box you can get them off ebay for about £4
They are on a PCI Breacket and are in the box with the 4 extra USB's and the Firewire one.
sry to dredge this up, but I have the board and didnt get an esata bracket.
Plus i think you have to make sure ahci is enabled in the bios - also remember that some of the later bios revisions DO make it esata ready...the early ones werent.
