My motherboard is a Intel DH55TC.
I was planning to add a new graphics card and im worried that the graphics card might block my sata ports for my hdd.

So can i plug in the my hdd into the eSATA ports just below my SATA ports?

Here is an image for reference :http://www.google.co.in/imgres?imgurl=http://motherboards-reviews.com/Intel/socket_1156/DH55TC/Intel_DH55TC_top.jpg&imgrefurl=http://motherboards-reviews.com/Intel/socket_1156/DH55TC/&h=2176&w=2272&sz=1929&tbnid=1mvM1LScluo5yM:&tbnh=90&tbnw=94&zoom=1&usg=__ABOwJEeHT1ccCgOpQxehVOhL6NQ=&docid=lnImN6M8oZyz5M&sa=X&ei=enCUUtSFEsiIrQfwv4DwDw&ved=0CFcQ9QEwBA

so there would be absolutely no problem in attaching my internal disk there?
yeah even i was wondering the point of eSATA being placed all the way over there.
