installing extra eSATA drive

jandjvideo · Jun 9, 2014

I have a Dell 630i with 3 empty slots for drives. There are 3 eSATA cables, but one of them is being used for the DVD-R drive. I would like to install another eSATA drive, but I've run out of connectors. Is there a "pigtail" or adapter that I can use to install the third drive?

There is a difference between SATA and eSATA ... the 'e' stands for 'external'

Looks as though you would be better off to get an external drive or a SATA PCI card to add extra SATA ports.
